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 your 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 boy
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 lain
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
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 your 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 boy
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 lain
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
