Lyrics
1. Officer, officer, stop that man
Hold him there, hold him there, if you can
Mister, please, Mister, please, call a hack
Bring him back, bring him back, bring him back
There you are, there you are, Billy boy
Come along, come along, silly boy
And believe me, you can’t leave me
Till you waltz me ’round again
Chorus:
Billy, Billy, bounce your baby doll
Billy, Billy, bounce me like a ball
And I’ll roll you around like a hoops, my dear
You feel like you’re looping the loops, my dear
Billy, Billy, bounce me up and down
Billy, Billy, bounce me ’round and ’round
Ho, high, up in the air
Oh, my, what do we care
Eins, zwei, drei, it’s a bear
Billy, Billy, bounce your baby doll
2. Officer, officer, there he goes
Officer, officer, vos is los?
Pull him in, pull him in, take a chance
Make him dance, make him dance, make him dance
Billy boy, Billy boy, what’s the use
Silly boy, silly boy, no excuse
Don’t you stop, dear, like a top, dear
Spin me ’round and ’round again
