Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
(C) F F/E Dm
Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets
G Dm
Staring over at his neighbor's, knickers down.
G Dm G C
He's got his knickers down.
F F/E Dm
So the summer is eternity for you?
G Dm
Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down
G Dm G
He's shaking you down.
F
And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift
Em Dm
As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around
G Dm G
All skullking around.
Chorus:
C Em Am F
Let your legs loll on the lino
C Em Am F
'Til your sinews spoil
C Em Am F
Will you stay here for awhile, dear,
C Em Am Dm
'Til the radio, plays something familiar?

Plays something familiar.

Verse 2:
(C) F F/E Dm
All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo
G Dm
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
G Dm G C
(The only catch all day)
(C) F F/E Dm
So he sits and lets the current take him
G Dm
A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray
G Dm G
And at his ankles laid.
F
As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep
Em Dm
He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls
G Dm G
How she twists and twirls!
Chorus:
C Em Am F
Let your legs loll on the lino
C Em Am F
'Til your sinews spoil
C Em Am F
Will you stay here for awhile, dear,
C Em Am Dm
'Til the radio plays something familiar
G
Plays something familiar
Dm
Plays something familiar
G
Plays something familiar
Dm
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah-da-dah
