Billy Far Out

Lyrics

I'll sing you a song of Billy Far Out True story without a shadow of a doubt He lived in Melbourne in Footscray But he found himself up Sydney way He had an old car it was tired and worn It was built before Noah was born But Billy and his mates on one fine day They set out for Footscray without delay By the time that they arrived in Yass Fourth gear was a thing of the past But Billy and his mates they were not bereft They said we've still got three gears left With Gundegai five miles away They stopped for a beer and Billy did say Whatever that dog did in thе tucker box It can't compare with the smеll of me sox O happy as Larry and sound as a bell They were dreaming of the beer in the Retreat Hotel When they came in sight of Albury Third gear it was history Says Billy we'll have to drive from here All the way to Melbourne in second gear Well second gear it wasn't the worst Forty miles later they were down to first They entered the city in the finest style Leading a procession of seventeen miles When they came to Brunswick the mates got out See yez all later says Billy Far Out When Billy got back in the driving seat He found first gear was dead on it's feet But Billy didn't swear and Billy didn't curse He set out for Footscray in reverse Come one come all from near and far Come all who drive automatic cars Like Billy Far Out your final abode May be living in a banger on the side of the road Living in an old banger on the side of the road
