| Shirt's on fire, church on fire | |
| Billy's dream boat stills as the house alights | |
| Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight | |
| But the harbour thrills pull back from the light | |
| To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight | |
| Holler | |
| Pleasures of the night | |
| Seaman's delight | |
| Holler | |
| (refrain) | |
| Pleasures of the night | |
| What a sight | |
| Oh no, the organ plays by itself | |
| It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monkey | |
| And the monkey stow away to sea | |
| Back to his wife and a nest in the trees | |
| Billy's brother plays bass in a band called Man | |
| He fancies himself as a travelling ham | |
| Strutting and fretting them into fame | |
| In a torn T-shirt he'll carve his name | |
| Holler | |
| (refrain) | |
| Looking for adventure and some mystery | |
| He doesn't need the grinder and he doesn't want me | |
| Stripped off his suit | |
| So let the poor beast be | |
| Oh, let the poor beast be | |
| The man said, "Ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!" | |
| Billy's shirt's on fire in the night | |
| He said, "Ho wee this is too hot to see." | |
| Billy's shirt's on fire in the night |
