When I lost Tommy
I won Billy as a consolation prize
The love he gave me
Really swayed me
It was shining in his eyes
Oh, Billy, poor Billy
Was my consolation prize
Cause I loved Tommy
I used Billy
Hoping that he would not get wise
Each time I meet him
I'd mistreat him
And tell him such a pack of lies
Oh, Billy, poor Billy
Was my consolation prize
Although Billy was tender
And Billy was always there
I kept wishing Tommy's lips
They were mine, all mine to share
Then I heard Tommy
Lost his sweetheart
But when he called I realized
That I loved Billy
Only Billy
What a passing in disguise
Oh Tommy, hey Tommy
Go ahead and get yourself
A consolation prize (repeat)
