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?

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

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
