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 mail room shift gets a real short shrift
 As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around
 All skulking around
 Let your legs loll on the lino
 Till your sinews spoil
 Will you stay here, for awhile, dear
 Till the radio plays something familiar?
 Plays something familiar
 All a-drifting, he's a no good boy-o
 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 your legs loll on the lino
 Till your sinews spoil
 Will you stay here, for awhile, dear
 Till the radio plays something familiar?
 Plays something familiar
 Plays something familiar
 Plays something familiar
