The Refreshments The Billy Goat song lyrics
The Refreshments The Billy Goat song lyrics
Wrapped in red ribbon and made out of straw
It was around before Santa Claus
A symbol of the devil back in history
Turned in to a nice being last century
It arrived in our town in 66
As one of the local merchants tricks
Three ton heavy and forty feet high
A great big giant that touched the sky
Someone set the goat on fire
Flames are growin´ higher ´n´ higher
All around kids are cryin´
Hurry hurry the goat is dyin´
It´s been rocketed by fireworks
Torched by night by drunken jerks
Ones it was levelled by a car
Ten times saved by a lucky star
It´s a bookmakers bet in London-town
Will the billy-goat get burned down
Will it make it through Christmas and New Years Day
Or will it end the same old way
Someone set the goat on fire
Flames are growin´ higher ´n´ higher
All around kids are cryin´
Hurry hurry the goat is dyin´
The sky is filled with thick black smoke
A madman ´s givin´ the fire a poke
The firemen are on their way
Sirens screamin´ at the end of day
Someone set the goat´s on fire
Flames are growin´ higher ´n´ higher
All around kids are cryin´
Hurry hurry the goat is dyin´
Someone set the goat on fire
Flames are growin´ higher ´n´ higher
All around kids are cryin´
Hurry hurry the goat is dyin´
