FBilly ranBb around with the rare old crew And he Fknew an ACrsenal from FTottenham blue We'd be a Fdarn sight Bbbetter off iFf we kCnew FWhere BilBbly's bones are resting now
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee And he took him down from six foot to five foot three Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi That copper won't be having any family
BbHey Billy sFon where are Cyou now, don't you know that we need you now With aFrataBbta and the Fold kow-Ctow Fwhere arBbe Billy's bones resting now
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force 'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta And they ran like Shiites Hey Billy son where are you now Don't you know that we need you now With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow Where are Billy's bones resting now Intro Melody (2x) Hey Billy son where are you now Don't you know that we need you now With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow Where are Billy's bones resting now One night Billy had a rare old time, Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line Came back to camp not looking too pretty Never even got to see the Holy City
Now FBilly's out Bbthere in the desert sun And his Fmother crieCs when the morning comes And thFere's mBbothers cryiFng all oveCr this world
For their poor dead darling boys and girls Hey Billy son where are you now Don't you know that we need you now With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow Where are Billy's bones resting now
