lyrics

BILLY WAS A MANIAC: I'd like to introduce you to Billy. Born and raised in a caravan in Chilly, Latchousieville, an animal capable of adding and subtracting inconceivable digits in the blink of an eyelid! People used to [********] and I had increasing doubts in the back of my mind, but he was increasingly kind; a pillar of society. But he harboured a secret and I'm gonna tell it: Billy was a maniac, Billy was. Billy was a maniac but he was good at mathematics, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but really... He went to Uni the same man, blended in the background; Billy qualified to be an accountant. [********] but after a few it was like Jekyll and Hyde; quiet to the point of silence with a tendency to be violent. He stayed at Uni a changed man. His drinking habit cost a man an eye; He didn't bat one of his. He was colder than an ice rink, wouldn't go to see the shrink. "I'd rather go out for a cold drink!"; his usual words, A trifle absurd but that was crazy Billy all over the front page after another violent rampage in the University cafe. He wanted to stay. They asked him to leave: He wasn't very pleased. Finally arrested with a massive price to pay, he broke out of prison, went to hide in San Tropez. It wasn't long before they had a killer in their midst, a little like a gorilla in the mist. Infecting the whole island like a cyst, the catalyst to assist the British government in capturing the sin that had been eluding them for years And then bring Billy in...
If they asked, people would tell, "Billy was a maniac!" and run like hell! If they saw, people would yell, "Run and tell the family that Billy was a, Billy was a maniac!" Billy was a maniac, I really must stress! Kick him in the arse if you really want to test his durability: You'll see straightaway, You should have listened to me. I really suggest you turn around and flee, 'cos the crazy motherfucker won't listen to me!
Billy was a maniac, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but he was good at mathematics, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but really... Billy was a maniac, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but he was good at trigonometry, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but really... Billy was a maniac, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but he was good at Sin and Cos and Tan, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but really... Billy was a maniac, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but he was fucking good at calculus, Billy was. Billy was a maniac, but really....
