Billy’s Bones The Pogues

[Verse 1]
Billy ran around with the rare old crew
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
We'd be a darn sight better off if we knew
Where Billy's bones are resting now

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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 shites
