Billericay Dickie 

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

(Spoken)

Good evening, I'm from Essex

In case you couldn't tell

My given name is Dickie,

I come from Billericay

And I'm doing very well



Had a love affair with Nina

In the back of my Cortina

A seasoned up hyena

Could not have been more obscener

She took me to the cleaners

And other misdemeanours

But I got right up between her

Rum and her Ribena



Well, you ask Joyce and Vicki

If candy-floss is sticky

I'm not a blinking thicky

I'm Billericay Dickie

And I'm doing very well



I bought a lot of brandy

When I was courting Sandy

Took eight to make her randy

And all I had was shandy

Another thing with Sandy

What often came in handy

Was passing her a 'Mandy'

She didn't half go bandy



So you ask Joyce and Vicki

If I ever took the mickey

I'm not a flipping thicky

I'm Billericay Dickie

And I'm doing very well



I'd rondez-vouez with Janet

Quite near the Isle of Thanet

She looked more like a gannet

She wasn't half a prannet

Her mother tried to ban it

Her father helped me plan it

And when I captured Janet

She bruised her pomegranet



So you ask Joyce and Vicki

If I ever shaped up tricky

I'm not a blooming thicky

I'm Billericay Dickie

And I'm doing very well



You should never hold a candle

If you don't know where it's been

The jackpot is in the handle

On a normal fruit machine



So you ask Joyce and Vicki

Who's their brickie

I'm not a common thicky

I'm Billericay Dickie

And I'm doing very well



I know a lovely old toe-rag

Obliging and noblesse

Kindly, charming shag

From Shoeburyness



My given name is Dickie

I come from Billericay

I thought you'd never guess



So you ask Joyce and Vicki

A pair of squeaky chickies

I'm not a flaming thicky

I
