The Gas supply has been cut off, the tele's on the blink
Billy stinks, he drinks & spews up in the kitchen sink
He's sick of his bleedin' life, & he's gonna smack the wife in the jaw
Billy Mrs cleans and scrubs while Billy's down the boozer
But she's had a belly full now Billy's gonna lose her
She's in her dressing gown, Billy's breaking down the bedroom door
[Chorus:]
POT... POT BELLY BILL: A Big fat dirty lout
A pig & a layabout
POT... POT BELLY BILL: A fowl gob that's never shut
A fat slob with a beer gut.
POT POT POT BELLY BILL
He's such a hog at tea time, he shovels down his grub
He burps & makes rude noises, then he nicks off down the pub
Between you & me, & Billy's Mrs will agree, he's a swine
[Chorus]...
[Guitar Bit]
It's closing time at the local, & he stumbles out the bar
The drunken lump forgets to switch the lights on in his car
But Billy is a darer, he did not see the Sierra round the bend.
1/2 an hour latter Billy's hospitalised, "Tell the wife to bring some cans in
with the grapes" He cries.
But she's seen the light, she said "Serve the fat slob right, I hope he DIES"
[Chorus]

I Toy Dolls sono una band punk rock britannica formatasi a Sunderland nel 1979. Considerati uno dei gruppi più importanti del movimento UK punk, hanno raggiunto un'enorme popolarità negli anni '80 grazie al loro stile musicale energico e alle loro canzoni ironiche e spesso dissacranti. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da riff di chitarra veloci, batteria potente e testi che trattano temi come la vita quotidiana, l'ironia sociale e il punk rock stesso. Tra i brani più famosi ci sono "Nellie the Red"; "Dig That Groove"; "The Ballad of Captain Hook" e "I Wanna Be a Toy Boy". I Toy Dolls hanno collaborato con artisti come The Angelic Upstarts e hanno pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui "Dig That Groove" (1982) e "The Greatest Hits" (1985). La loro musica continua ad essere apprezzata da un pubblico fedele di appassionati di punk rock.
