G                     Em
Billy Liar's got his       hands in his pockets       
                               A                                 Em
Staring over at his       neighbor's, knickers down.       
 A                                  Em      A      D
 He's got his knickers down.                                      
                                G                      Em
So the summer is       eternity for you?       
                                        A                                   Em 
Sleeping in until your       father's shaking you down       
 A                             Em      A
 He's shaking you down.                       
                  G
And the       mailroom shift gets a real short shrift
                  F#m                                                                             Em
As you       dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around       
A                               Em        A
All skullking a      round.       

CHORUS
       D                  Bm            D      Bm
       Let your       legs loll       on the       lino
       D      F#m      Em      G      A
       'Til your       sinews spoil                                  
       D                    Bm           D                Bm
       Will you       stay here       for a      while, dear,
       D              F#m          Em      G
       'Til the       radio       plays       something familiar?
                      A
        Plays something familiar.

VERSE II (Same Chords)

All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
(The 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!
