G5                     E5
Billy Liar's got his       hands in his pockets       
                               A5                                 E5
Staring over at his       neighbor's, knickers down.       
 A5                                  E5      A5      D5
 He's got his knickers down.                                      
                                G5                      E5
So the summer is       eternity for you?       
                                        A5                                   E5 
Sleeping in until your       father's shaking you down       
 A5                             E5      A5
 He's shaking you down.                       
                  G5
And the       mailroom shift gets a real short shrift
                  F#5                                                                             E5
As you       dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around       
A5                               E5        A5
All skullking a      round.       

CHORUS
       D5                  B5            D5      B5
       Let your       legs loll       on the       lino
       D5      F#5      E5      G5      A5
       'Til your       sinews spoil                                  
       D5                    B5           D5                B5
       Will you       stay here       for a      while, dear,
       D5              F#5          E5      G5
       'Til the       radio       plays       something familiar?
                      A5
        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!
