This version of LILY FROM PICCADILLY Is the only set of "Written" lyrics for this particular variation of the song that has many variations. This one is the funniest. So I wrote them down. I have two General George S. Patton movies. (4 Star General) Who commanded the 7th Army in WW2 and is considered the best U.S. General ever, or at least one of them. One is 1970 "Patton" & 1984 "The Last Days of Patton" Both of them George C. Scott plays General Patton. In the 1984 movie, he sings this song about a girl "streetwalker" named "Lily" I liked it so much I wrote the lyrics down because there are several versions wrote down online, but not this one... Bottom Address is the 2 minute youtube “Lilly from Piccadilly" from "Last Days of Patton" Movie I watched it on "TubeMate" app HERE IT IS : To Music..... It's Lilly, from Piccadilly She is the blackout queen. Lilly, from Piccadilly Ugliest girl I've seen. With searchlights moving overhead Till Messerschmitt's¹ are gone, Don't take your mask off You look much better with it on! Yeah! CHORUS: Oh Lilly, from Piccadilly She is the blackout queen! (Come on everybody sing!) It's Lilly, from Piccadilly She is the blackout queen. Oh, Lilly, from Piccadilly Ugliest girl I've seen! Her wig should never bother you She's several missing parts One glass eye, wooden leg She's still the queen of hearts CHORUS: Oh Lilly, from Piccadilly She is the blackout queen! Good, good! It's Lilly, from Piccadilly She is the blackout queen Lilly, from Piccadilly Ugliest girl I've seen Who cares if she has pigeon toed A voice that's rather harsh She's one who drinks, An RAF² type, handlebar mustache CHORUS: Oh Lilly, from Piccadilly She loves the blackout, Lays her rubber mat out, She won't let you back out, You won't pay a stack out, For Lily...eeee, the blackout queen! O-lay! ( ¹ ) "Messerschmitt" was a German Air raft company that made bombers that bombed London in the Battle of Britain in World War II. They also made fighter aircraft of different variations, incl jet aircraft. 64 types of aircraft in all, according to wik. ( ² ) RAF = Royal Air Force https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ_fXaXholM
