Billy Liar lyrics

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 loss on the lino

`Til your sinews spoil

Will you stay here for a while, dear,

`Til the radio plays something familiar?

Plays smoething familiar.



All a-drifting, he`s a nogood 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 loss on the lino

`Til your sinews spoil

Will you stay here for a while, dear,

`Til the radio plays something familiar?

Plays smoething familiar.
