Wife
S.H.E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Billy jive with Willy's wife
'cause she's the best thing in your life
Don't do no wrong - Just come along
And take her dilly dilly dally dong - Tonight

Willy is mean
But have you seen - Have you seen his wife Irene
She's so sexy - Young and hot
And she looks so good - Turn on the spot
And I'm living just door to door
Willy's such a mean old bore
But he keeps working from nine to five
And I'm gonna jive with Willy's wife

Oh Billy jive with Willy's wife
'cause she's the best thing in your life
Don't do no wrong - Just come along
And take her dilly dilly dally dong
Oh Billy jive with Willy's wife
'cause Willy's not at home from nine to five
Just hold her tight and do it right
Oh little Billy jive with Willy's wife - Tonight

Give me your dilly dilly dally dong - Oho - Aha

Willy is bad
But I will get - I will get all the love he had
'cause she wants me - She wants me so
And when I knock she won't say no
Willy's working - In a butcher shop
When my billy's doin' his job
He's leaving - And I arrive
And I'm gonna jive with Willy's wife

Give me your dilly dilly dally dong - Oho - Aha

Billy is back





Give me your dilly dilly dally dong - Oho - Aha
