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.
