I had a friend named Bill Camel, he used to rob, steal and gamble.
And on the side he had begged, so he mopped up.

I told him he shouldn't do it, and Camel told me he knew it.
[D#] So he started begging with a bucket [G#] instead of a cup.
[C#] He's in the jailhouse now.
He's in the jailhouse now.

She said, have you seen Bill lately?
