lyrics

Has anybody here seen Billy?
Has anybody seen our Pete?
I met them with me Dad at the station
But then I lost them out on Paragon Street
Me Dad, well he'll be buying them whisky
And they'll be roaring drunk by now I know
And I'll always be the son that never got to fire a gun
Because I was too young to go.

Has anybody here seen Billy?
He'll have a pretty girl on each arm
Regaling them with tales of the trenches
They'll be unable to resist his charm
Me Dad and Pete will sit there smiling
Just like they're punters at some West End show
And I'll always be the son that never got to fire a gun
Because I was too young to go.
