Billy's Bones |
Billy ran around with the rare old crew |
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue |
We’d be a darn sight better off if we knew |
Where Billy’s bones are resting now |
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee |
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three |
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi |
That copper won’t be having any family |
Hey Billy son where are you now |
Don’t you know that we need you now |
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow |
Where are Billy’s bones resting now |
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force |
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course |
Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan |
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run |
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun |
Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta |
And they ran like shites |
Hey Billy son where are you now |
Don’t you know that we need you now |
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow |
Where are Billy’s bones resting now |
Hey Billy son where are you now |
Don’t you know that we need you now |
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow |
Where are Billy’s bones resting now |
One night Billy had a rare old time |
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line |
Came back to camp not looking too pretty |
Never even got to see the Holy City |
Now Billy’s out there in the desert sun |
And his mother cries when the morning comes |
And there’s mothers crying all over this world |
For their poor dead darling boys and girls |
Hey Billy son where are you now |
Don’t you know that we need you now |
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow |
Where are Billy’s bones resting now |
Have a Billy holiday |
Born on a Monday |
Married on a Tuesday |
Drunk on a Wednesday |
Got plugged on a Thursday |
Sick on a Friday |
Died on a Saturday |
Buried on a Sunday |
