This pie shall go down in the hall of shamers....and BeStillRoy, in the hall of famers....
Some printed Lyrics, for those I slaughter..:
The Ballad of BeStillRoy

he was an excitable boy
his mama called him bestillroy
he greW a beard when he was three
and lived out back in a sycamore tree
UP HIGH a sycamore tree, yea

he didn't have ALLOT OF fancy toys
not your average uptown boy
had a wooden box and a
rubber band, told his mama
one day i'M gonna be in a rock n roll
band if *I can, if I can, if I can

one day his Mama cried come here boy
Mama's got a little chore for ya, Roy
fetch that rake and gather those leaves
and when you're thru, I have a A shoo
fly pie for you, JUST for you....

well as luck would have it the rake was old
the leaves were heavy or so i've been told
the rake it snapped, broke in his hand
a smile crossed his face as his mind it form-
u-lated a plan so GRAND, to the shop he ran!

on his way he grabbed the wooden box,
and the rubber band and some glue
reached out his hand aS HE DASHED THAT WAY
AND FOUND HIM AND NAIL AND A SCREW

y'ALL KNOW THE REST, WELL IT'S HISTORY
AND BESTILLrOY IS NO MYSTERY
WE CAN SEE HIM UP THERE PLAYIN' ON THE SILVER SCREEN
PLAYING A CBG SO MEAN SO MEAN......

he was an excitable boy
his mama called him bestillroy
he greW a beard when he was three
and lived out back in a sycamore tree
UP HIGH a sycamore tree, yea
