Aw, c'mon guys, I can't believe nobody's mentioned the greatest surprise twist ending of all - "My Girl Bill" by Jim Stafford!! Through the whole song you think he's singing the praises of some guy named Bill (pretty gutsy for 1974, I must say!), and then at the end you find out the rest of the story!

My Girl Bill
Jim Stafford

Bill walked me to my door last night
And he said, 'Before I go...
There's something about our love affair
That I have a right to know...'
I said, 'Let's not stand out here like this
What would the neighbors think?
Why don't we just...step inside
And I'll fix us both a drink'

Chorus:
My girl, Bill
My, my, girl, Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl my girl)
My girl Bill

William's hands were shaking
As he took his glass of wine
I could see we both felt the same
When his eyes met mine
I said, 'Who we love and why we love
It's hard to understand
So let's just sit here on the couch
And face this, man to man'

Chorus

Bill, you know we just left her place
And we both know what she said
She doesn't want to see your face
And she wishes you were dead
Now, I know we both love her
And I guess we always will
But you're gonna have to find another
'Cause she's my girl...Bill

My girl Bill
My, my, girl Bill
Can't say enough about the way I feel
About my girl
(My girl my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my little girl
My girl, Bill

Chorus (To fade)


I still remember the first time I heard that song I thought it was one of the most clever pieces of writing I'd ever run across!
