Billy Liar |
| Billy Liar’s got his hands in his pockets |
| Staring over at the neighbor’s, knickers down |
| He’s got his knickers down |
| So the summer is eternity for you? |
| Sleeping in until your father’s shaking you down |
| He’s shaking you down |
| And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift |
| As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around |
| All skulking around |
| Let you legs loll on the lino |
| 'Til your sinews spoil |
| Will you stay here for a while, dear |
| 'Til the radio plays something familiar? |
| Plays something familiar |
| All a-drifting, he’s a no-good boyo |
| Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame |
| (His only catch all day) |
| So he sits and lets the current take him |
| A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray |
| And at his ankles laid |
| As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep |
| He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls |
| How she twists and twirls! |
| Let you legs loll on the lino |
| 'Til your sinews spoil |
| Will you stay here for a while, dear |
| 'Til the radio plays something familiar? |
| Plays something familiar |
