Billy's Shirts
Shirt's on fire, church on fire
Billy's dream boat stills as the house alight
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a figh
But the harbour thrills pull back from the ligh
To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tigh
Holle
Pleasures of the nigh
Seaman's deligh
Holle
(refrain
Pleasures of the nigh
What a sigh
Oh no, the organ plays by itsel
It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monke
And the monkey stow away to se
Back to his wife and a nest in the tree
Billy's brother plays bass in a band called Ma
He fancies himself as a travelling ha
Strutting and fretting them into fam
In a torn T-shirt he'll carve his nam
Holle
(refrain
Looking for adventure and some myster
He doesn't need the grinder and he doesn't want m
Stripped off his sui
So let the poor beast b
Oh, let the poor beast b
The man said, "Ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!"
Billy's shirt's on fire in the nigh
He said, "Ho wee this is too hot to see."
Billy's shirt's on fire in the night
