Eric Wallgren - The Ballad of Huff Tillman Lyrics

Huff Tillman moonwalked on the street
He wore a single sparkling glove
Sang "Rock with You" and "Billie Jean"
The public knew they were in love
All of Chicago knew of Huff
They'd watch him sing and dance and stuff
Of all the Mikes in the Midwest
Everyone said he was the best

So he said "I want to be where everyone can see
That I'm the best there ever was to walk the earth
I'm going to try before I lay down and die
To make sure everybody knows what all I'm worth"

And so Huff hopped onto a train
Going east to New York City
Where he could really play "The King
Of Pop" on stages and TV
But when the train stopped for a rest
Huff put on a small performance
There was a man who was impressed
His name was Snaz Delorez

And Snaz said "you ought to be where everyone can see
That you're the best there ever was to walk the earth
You've got to try before you lay down and die
To make everybody knows what all you're worth"

So Huff asked Snaz Delores "how will you do this for me?
How will help to bring my act to everyone?
And Snaz said to him "lucky you you don't know what I can do
I'll have you dancing everywhere under the sun."

That's when he laid it out to Huff
He said "I own a traveling circus
We go from town to town by bus
And your act would be perfect for us"
And so Huff went along with him
Moonwalked from Boise to Houston
He never failed to bring a crowd
And he was loved in every town
