VERSE I
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 around.
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 awhile, 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!

'Til the radio plays something familiar
A
Plays something familiar
Em
Plays something familiar
A
Plays something familiar
