Lyrics by Don Black
Frustrated by his boring middle-class existence undertaker’s assistant, Billy Fisher daydreams about being a comedy writer in the big city. Trapped by parental expectancy his white lies create drama in his uneventful life especially when it comes to keeping his three girlfriends apart. A combination of comedy and tragedy prevail as Billy’s complex character is revealed.
