-----------------------.............................
*from 'New Boots and Panties!!' (1977)*
*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: B)
Intro: (Spoken)
Good evening, I'm from Essex; in case you couldn't tell,
My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay,
F7
And I'm doing very well.
Verse 1:
Bb F F7
Had a love affair with Nina, in the back of my Cor-tina,
Eb F Bb Bb7
A seasoned up hyena, could not be more ob-scene-a.
Dm G G7
She took me to the cleaners, and other misde-meanours,
Dm F F7 (n.C)
But I got right up between her, Rum and her Ri-bena.
Chorus 1:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
Oh, you ask Joyce and Vicky, if candy-floss is sticky,
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I'm not a blinking thicky, I'm Billericay Dickie,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I'm doin', very well.
Verse 2:
Bb F F7
I bought a lot of brandy, when I was courting Sandy,
Eb F Bb Bb7
Took eight to make her randy, and all I had was shandy.
Dm G G7
A-nother thing with Sandy, what often came in handy,
Dm F (n.C)
Was passing her a 'Mandy'; she didn't half go bandy.
Chorus 2:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
So, you ask Joyce and Vicky, if I ever took the mickey.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I'm not a flipping thicky, I'm Billericay Dickie,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I'm doin', very well.
Verse 3:
Bb F F7
I'd rendezvous with Janet, quite near the Isle of Thanet,
Eb F Bb Bb7
She looked more like a gannet; she wasn't half a prannet.
Dm G G7
Her mother tried to ban it; her father helped me plan it,
Dm F (n.C)
And when I captured Janet; she bruised her pome-granate.
Chorus 3:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
Oh, you ask Joyce and Vicki, if I ever shaped up tricky,
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I'm not a blooming thicky; I'm Billericay Dickie,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I'm doin', very well.
Bridge 1:
Bb7
You should never, hold a candle, if you don't know where it's been.
C7 F F7 (n.C)
The jackpot, is in the handle, on a normal fruit ma-chine.
Chorus 4:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
So, you ask Joyce and Vicki, who's their favourite brickie.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I'm not a common thicky, I'm Billericay Dickie,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I'm doin', very well.
Chorus 4:
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I know a lovely old toe-rag, o-bliging and no-blesse,
G G7
Kindly, charming shag, from Shoeburyness.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I'm doin', very well.
Chorus 5:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
So, you ask Joyce and Vicki; a pair of squeaky chickies.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I'm not a flaming thicky, I'm Billericay Dickie,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
I thought, you'd never guess.
Chorus 6:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
Oh golly, oh gosh; come and lie on the couch,
G G7
With a nice bit of posh, from Burnham-on-Crouch.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
My given name is Dickie; I come from Bille-ricay,
C7 F F7 (n.C)
And I ain't, a slouch.
Chorus 7:
C7 Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj G G7
So you ask Joyce and Vicki, about Billericay Dickie.
Dm Dm/maj Dm7 Dm/maj
I ain't an effin' thicky; you ask Joyce and Vicki;
C7 F F7 (n.C)
I'm doing, very well.
