"Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets   Staring over at the neighbour'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 skullking around.      CHORUS   Let your legs loll on the lino   'Til your sinews spoil   Will you stay here for awhile dear,   'Til the radio plays something familiar?   Plays something familiar.      All a-drifting, he's the 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 deckedby a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls   How she twists and twirls!      CHORUS    'Til the radio plays something familiar   Plays something familiar   Plays something familiar   Plays something familiar      Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah-da-dah   Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah"
