VERSE I
Billy Liar's got his Ghands in his pocketsEm
Staring over at his Aneighbor's, knickers down.Em
AHe's got his knickers down.Em A D
So the summer is Geternity for you'Em
Sleeping in until your Afather's shaking you downEm
AHe's shaking you down.Em A
And the Gmailroom shift gets a real short shrift
As you F#mdole out the packages, no-one seems to want you aroundEm
AAll skullking aEmround.A
CHORUS
DLet your Bmlegs lollD on the Bmlino
D'Til your F#msinews spoilEm G A
DWill you Bmstay hereD for aBmwhile, dear,
D'Til the F#mradioEm plays Gsomething familiar'
Plays Asomething 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!
CHORUS (Same Chords and Words) *ADD
D'Til the F#mradioEm plays Gsomething familiar
Plays Asomething familiar
Plays Emsomething familiar
Plays Asomething familiar
