Billy's Shirts |
| Shirt’s on fire, church on fire |
| Billy’s dream boat stills as the house alights |
| Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight |
| But the harbour thrills pull back from the light |
| To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight |
| Holler |
| Pleasures of the night |
| Seaman’s delight |
| Holler |
| Pleasures of the night |
| What a sight |
| Oh no, the organ plays by itself |
| It doesn’t need the grinder’s help and the monkey |
| And the monkey stow away to sea |
| Back to his wife and a nest in the trees |
| Billy’s brother plays bass in a band called man |
| He fancies himself as a travelling ham |
| Strutting and fretting them into fame |
| In a torn t-shirt he’ll carve his name |
| Holler |
| Looking for adventure and some mystery |
| He doesn’t need the grinder and he doesn’t want me |
| Stripped off his suit |
| So let the poor beast be |
| Oh, let the poor beast be |
| The man said, «ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!» |
| Billy’s shirt’s on fire in the night |
| He said, «ho wee this is too hot to see.» |
| Billy’s shirt’s on fire in the night |
