D-d-don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Or think about the next bit
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Ah, ah, aye
Billy, goodbye
I can't deny
I thought at last
I can't deny I thought
Auf Wiedersehen steckrübe
Why waste time regrеtting the past
When we can worry about thе future?
Have a very merry future
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
Don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Or think about the next bit
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Ah, ah, aye
Billy, goodbye
Billy, goodbye
How did it start?
How did it stop?
Details, details
Not the plot
If you walk in
I prefer to walk out
I prefer to walk on
Walk into the future
Have a very merry future
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh, oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh, oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh, oh)
Maybe it's time to go (oh, oh, oh)
It's time to go
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
When it comes to recollecting
Don't forget the best bits
Bye, bye, Billy, goodbye
Don't get down, look around
Don't forget the best bits
Ah, ah, aye
Don't forget the best bits
Ah, ah
I don't forget the best bits
Ah, ah, aye
Billy, goodbye
Billy, goodbye
Billy, goodbye
Billy, goodbye
