from Tottenham blue We'd be a darn sight better off if we knew

old kow-tow where are Billy's bones Resting now Billy went away
with the peace keeping force cause he Liked a bloddy good fight
of course Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the

he got'em In the range of his sub machine gun Then he got the
Israelis in his sights, went ra-ta-ta And they ran like Shi-ites

not looking too pretty never even got To see the Holy City Now
Billy's out there in the desert sun and his mother cries When
the morning comes And there's mother's crying all over the
world, for their poor Dead darling boys and girls Hey Billy son
where are you now, Born on a Monday, married on a Tuesday, Drunk
on a Wednesday, got plugged on a Thursday, sick on a Friday, Died
on a Saturday, buried on Sunda
