Thin and long
                           He was a ticking bomb
                           
                           Gutter Mouth
                           Bred in the deeper South
                           
                           Billy Bones
                           As he was always known
                           Was a horror of a human being
                           
                           Hand grenades
                           Rockets and razor blades
                           
                           Fifty tins
                           Of nitro glycerine
                           
                           Billy Bones
                           Spent all his time a lone
                           Lost in pyrotechnic dreams
                           
                           Billy Bones
                           What an awful creature
                           (Billy Bones...)
                           He's so full of sin
                           Billy Bones
                           Better get the preacher
                           'Cause when the sun goes down
                           Billy does evil things
                           
                           Breaking news
                           Billy has blown his fuse
                           
                           Out of hell
                           Into a padded cell
                           
                           Billy Bones
                           Throwing sticks and stones
                           When the doctors came to take him in
                           (What a naughty boy...)
