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