Sweet - Little Willy Lyrics






North side, east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing and glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down

Way past one and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy 'round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Up town, down town
Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his run-around style
Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile

Mama done chase Willy down through the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't
Willy won't, Willy won't

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no

  21. j.... ....

    Does anyone know what recording studio the Little Willy single was recorded in?

  22. J.... P....

    Falling asleep on the couch and waking up in the 4:00 AM hours to Donny Osmond selling TimeLife's Music of the 1970s has led me here...preparing to download the song.

    Interesting how the drummer has the most conservative outfit.

    Saw one guy in the audience who clearly was there only to please his Lady.

  23. k.... K....

    Is that a bloke or a woman on the left with the white leggings & hot pants?

  24. B.... ....

    Who has the high voice?

  25. �.... �....

    SWEET- всегда будет SWETOM- РОКА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. R.... S....

    Brian and that hair...what a great band, so glad I was a teen back then.

  27. R.... S....

    Steve's shorts.....

  28. G.... P....

    Is anyone listening in 2020? Because I sure am. Sadly I was born in 2005 so I wasn't brought up with this amazing band.

    G.... P....

    México, 010220.

    G.... P....

    ok boomer

    G.... P....

    Im 19 and I love this kind of music

    G.... P....

    and you just gave us older people hope!! Makes me smile that the younger Generation is discovering great music.

    G.... P....

    I was like 3 when this came out... my aunt had the 45! I told her a few months ago “THANK YOU for exposing me to this music! Sweet, Three Dog Night, Zeppelin... without my aunt and uncle, I would have never known 70s music!

  29. J.... T....

    If you pause it real quick at 2:12 you can see the panties of the girl in the white skirt

    J.... T....

    James Teed: im paying more attention to her top half 😮😮

  30. C.... D....

    This song was one helluva earworm to any kid with a transistor radio in the 70's!

  31. D.... B....

    Love sweet me and my future wife loved them

  32. M.... H....

    Turn those speakers up..... I don't care if the people complain.  This is good old fashion, rock n roll.  When is took talent to make a song...not computers.

  33. T.... S....

    I love some of those crazy outfits Steve wore.

  34. M.... G....

    Didn't know sweet was popular in 72, I just knew them in Love is like Oxygen, but I remember this song playing on the radio when I was 10. Great song !

  35. q.... ....

    Listening in 2020?

  36. i.... ....

    I was 4 when this song was a big hit and I remember singing it all the time...

  37. J.... T....

    Is this song about a penis?

  38. I.... J....

    Geoffrey from Rainbow killing it on lead vocals

  39. J.... P....

    Miluji tuto skupinu to nema chybu.

  40. T.... S....

    Love this song it rocks

  41. l.... l....

    Singing about pussy.....pussy cat,that is!!

  42. J.... ....

    Whatever "Little Willy" is, it is NOT disco.

    J.... ....

    Funny man, please consider "disco" is the name of a german TV production. There "survived" this BBC footage in German quality, I guess. And btw the disco sound came up in the mid 70s. There are Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Hawkwind, Ramones and a lot of marvellous band more in that show. :)

  43. J.... B....

    Who first heard of this song from the Knack trailer and still listens to it every now and again?

  44. B.... S....

    Memories of when I was growing up .My how times change

  45. S.... F....

    Taggart's brother in real life!

  46. T.... G....

    My friend and I are always listening to sweet, little Willy ,

  47. T.... G....

    Me ,forever ,that you s real music and Jim Stafford is a very talented performer, he was a one man band, love all his music

  48. H.... e....

    litlle willy? they sing about a dick?

  49. G.... ....

    Great song. That lady at 2:12 is straight out of every early 70s sci-fi show, lol! Was this shot in England?

    G.... ....

    Yes. This clip is from "Top of the pops", which was a must see programme in UK for anyone interested in the popular music scene at the time.

    G.... ....

    @Gary Bradley Thanks!

    G.... ....

    Gregster: Uhhh ... awesomely built babes in tight dresses was hardly exclusive to sci-fi I the 1970s or any time else. In fact I just watched a video of Rita Hayworth dancing in the 1930s and she would have fit in just fine here.

  50. S.... ....

    They're all wearing wigs.

    S.... ....

    ShoeUnited Nah dude our hair really looked like that in those days.

  51. M.... ....

    I heard this one on the radio a lot when I was a kid.

  52. H.... H....

    Das ist und sweet.

  53. T.... W....

    Don't ya just love the 70s? "Love is Like Oxygen" makes the hair on my body stand up in places I didn't know it grew...lol...You guys are in a class of your own and I just wanna cry when I think of Brian Connelly. I'm single, never married by choice, but he could have easily changed my mind

  54. L.... H....

    Of course I bought the 45!!

  55. D.... H....

    i have everything they did on my pc. i spent months to make it. it is part of my teen years

  56. K.... B....

    Me and my best friend have a drinking game where we take a sip for every time willy is said . . . It's a guarantee that you will be getting drunk

  57. D.... M....

    star shoed shimmy shuffle

  58. T.... G....

    I thank my ma and sisters for all my music back ground or I wouldn't be listening to all this good music at the age of 49 good music

  59. J.... C....

    Soooooo...underrated...

  60. R.... W....

    Reminds me of those CD box sets they used to sell on TV.

  61. L.... L....

    They look like a bunch of girls. Lol

    L.... L....

    That's '70's fashion for you!!!.

  62. M.... P....

    The dancing. Wow😳

  63. P.... H....

    In Los Angeles 12 years old and this was my introduction to Sweet ..thought the guitar was cool...a few years later i'd be in a band ..listening to "Fox on the run" trying to meet girls at the skate rink in Topanga mall...thinking how cool the guitar was...

  64. P.... ....

    This song was written about Kaiser Wilhelm and his not wanting to leave France ;-)

  65. �.... �....

    Де мої 16 років?

  66. a.... ....

    о!!!! вязаные пуловеры

  67. F.... C....

    Was the Monthly Sock hop in the Gym. Friday afternoon. This song came on. And it was a big hit at the time.
    So all of us were dancing and singing along. Floor filled and stomping together. When the part comes on about Willy won't go!!
    Today best memories of School,
    Listening to this again!!

  68. S.... M....

    I was six years old when this song was on the radio
    I still love it

  69. T.... R....

    Thank you sweet for this great tune😍😍😍rip.byran

  70. G.... S....

    I remember this on AM radio in the 70's I loved it , my cousin hated it. We are both still alive

  71. S.... B....

    must have been 9 or 10 and went down to the record shop and bought the 45 of this...

  72. k.... s....

    I love it when bands lip sync.....not. Great band and song though.

  73. D.... C....

    Where's little willie at today? !!!!

    D.... C....

    Don't know, but he still won't be pushed around!!!

  74. p.... ....

    Got this 45 when I was only 10. Everyone I knew loved this song. Even my granny. Used to spin it on her old cabinet console stereo. 😄

  75. H.... ....

    If any aliens out there are receiving this isn't disco it's rpck 'n' roll

  76. a.... ....

    I still can't get over how cute he is.

  77. D.... B....

    Wow Sweet were and still are brilliant Brian was the best ever lead singer ever sadlyhe lost the plot

  78. W.... Y....

    whos here from Davids Vlogs

  79. P.... N....

    This seems like the real thing; their playing and singing is as genuine as those hideous outfits; I can even see cords on the bass and the mikes. It's not the version on the record, but it sounds fantastic; they must have had phenomenal talent to sound this good live.

  80. S.... S....

    still listening because its good..........

  81. D.... ....

    02:12 you're welcome.

  82. D.... ....

    @1:59 orange shirt guy forgets lyrics and immediately regrets being on camera, much less, alive.

  83. t.... r....

    PLEEEEEEASE MAKE THE 70s great again

  84. O.... ....

    The Chosen One's deleted fight scene.

    D.... B....

    If my pants were any tighter, they'd be behind me.

    D.... B....

    TheOodem 😂😂😂

  86. R.... N....

    El Rushbo's bill clinton update theme song from back in the day

  87. J.... T....

    One of the MOST under rated bands of the 70's

  88. W.... o....

    That white dress at 2:12. Wow, just wow!

  89. R.... S....

    Blonde looks like a guy.

  90. E.... R....

    This song is so wired and packed full of energy! It's no wonder it was my absolute favorite song as a 7 yr old kid in 1972.

    E.... R....

    Yup, i was 7 in '72. I remember hearing this song and loving it.

  91. E.... ....

  97. C.... H....
