Bernie Taupin - Billy Fury lyrics

rate me

Mirror, mirror won't you give me

Reflections of another wanna be, wanna be

Lam and silky lingerie

Satin hearts and dolls at center stage

His lip and left leg quivered

He'd stand and he'd deliver

And on my knee in sixty-three

I was Billy Fury in my mirror

Oh I'd wanna be, I wanna be

Like Billy Fury

I wanna be mean and blond

Wanna mumble perfect jumbo

With a little innuendo

I want it to be "Like You've Never Been Gone"

Stereo monaural, both compatible

Dansette playing another shake, rattle and roll

The D.J.'s say this boy really matters

Pre-fab four on a disc and platter

And his quiff was sprung with grease

He was torn up underneath

But in my room I played my broom

While Billy Fury made them scream

Oh I'd wanna be, I wanna be

Like Billy Fury

I wanna be mean and blond

Wanna mumble perfect jumbo

With a little innuendo

I want it to be "Like You've Never Been Gone
