[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Oh, Billy poor Billy
Was my consolation prize

[Verse 2]
'Cause I loved Tommy
I used Billy
Hoping he would not get wise
Each time I'd meet him
I'd mistreat him
And tell him such a pack of lies

[Chorus 1]
Oh, Billy, poor Billy
Was my consolation prize

[Bridge]
Although Billy was tender
And Billy was always there
I kept wishing Tommy's lips
They were mine all mine to share

[Verse 3]
Then I heard Tommy
Lost his sweetheart
But when he call I realized
That I loved Billy
Only Billy
What a blessing in disguise

[Chorus 2]
Oh Tommy hey Tommy
Go ahead and get yourself a
Consolation prize

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
Oh, Tommy, hey, Tommy
Go ahead and get yourself a
Consolation prize
