1
Billy ran around with the rare old crew
2
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
3
We'd be a darn sight better of if we knew
4
Where Billy's bones are resting now
5
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
6
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
7
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
8
That copper won't be having any family
9
Hey Billy son where are you now
10
Don't you know that we need you now
11
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
12
Where are Billy's bones resting now
13
Billy went away with the peace-keeping force
14
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
15
Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan
16
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run
17
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun
18
Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta
19
And they ran like Shiites
20
Hey Billy son where are you now
21
Don't you know that we need you now
22
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
23
Where are Billy's bones resting now
24
One night Billy had a rare old time,
25
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
26
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
27
Never even got to see the Holy City
28
Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
29
And his mother cries when the morning comes
30
And there's mothers crying all over this world
31
For their poor dead darling boys and girls
32
Hey Billy son where are you now
33
Don't you know that we need you now
34
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
35
Where are Billy's bones resting now
36
Have a Billy holiday
37
Born on a Monday
38
Married on a Tuesday
39
Drunk on a Wednesday
40
Got plugged on a Thursday
41
Sick on a Friday
42
Died on a Saturday
43
Buried on a Sunday
