Its Still Billy Joel to Me — текст песни (Weird Al Yankovic)

Whats the matter with the songs hes singin

Cant you tell that theyre pretty lame

After listenin to a couple albums

Well, they all start to sound the same



So he tried to change his musical style

He tossed all his ballads in the circular file

Then he found the punk sound

Breakin ground all around

Its still billy joel to me



Whats the matter with the tune hes writin

Well, you know its gonna be a smash

Its so nice when youre a big name artist

Doesnt matter if it sounds like trash



Now everybody thinks the new wave is super

Just ask linda ronstadt or even alice cooper

Its a big hit, isnt it

Even if its a piece of junk

Its still billy joel to me



Woah, it doesnt matter what the critics say about him

cause he doesnt worry how they feel

When youre records sellin millions and its goin triple platinum

You dont worry bout your next meal

cause money is no big deal



Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink

And stick a safety pin through his cheeks

Then hed really fit the new wave image

But he couldnt sit down for weeks



Dont you know about the record business, honey

You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money

Now everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny

But its still billy joel to me



All right, alfred

Oh



I can hardly wait til his next album

Well, Ill bet its gonna be the rage

Buy a ticket to his next big concert

Well, I wonder what hell do on stage



It might be disco and it might be the blues

Or maybe even somethin like the b-52s

Just a handclap, finger snap

Even if its mindless pap

Its still billy joel to me



Everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny

But its still billy joel to me
