The title track off of Cooper’s most successful album up to that point, “Billion Dollar Babies” presents the dangers of overindulgence.
The background falsetto is provided by Scottish singer/songwriter, Donovan.

[Verse 1]
Billion dollar baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley, loves me like no other lover
Billion dollar baby
Rubber little monster, baby I adore ya
Man or woman living
Couldn’t love you like me baby
[Chorus]
We go dancing nightly in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky
If I'm too rough tell me
I'm so scared your little head
Will come off in my hands
Aww!
[Verse 2]
Yeah, billion dollar baby
I got you in a dimestore
No other little girl could ever
Hold you any tighter
Any tighter than me maybe

Reckless like a gambler, million dollar maybe
Fighting like a dog
That's been infected by the rabies
[Chorus]
We go dancing nightly in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky
If I'm too rough tell me
I'm so scared your little head
Will come off in my hands
[Outro]
Million dollar baby
Yeah, billion dollar baby
Trillion dollar baby
Zillion dollar baby
Billion dollar baby
Billion dollar baby, baby
