Good evening
Anybody got a light?

My name is Willie
Willie The Torch
And I’m here to confirm all reports
I am true to the name
That is written in flame
On the lips of my closest consort

I’m Willie
Willie The Torch
A-K-A The Human Flame
Got talent from God
Brings me money and fame
The Man Of The Match
By any other name
I proved it up and down the Gold Coast
And tonight
If the money’s right
I’ll prove it again!

Willie The Torch
Slave to fire
Remember my name
Go on smother me
Spray me with foam
It ain’t no use
I burn up alone

From the bar at Norseman to Skull Creek
This desert’s my mattress of fire
My duty is your endless desire
And I won’t retire
Until I delight at night 
And make this dim world of yours
A little more bright

Willie The Torch
That’s the name of your latest flame

You see, all of us have a talent
And my traveller’s charms are my ashtray arms
Bitumen, turpentine,
Well, I’ve known them all in my time
Kerosene too is a friend of mine

I am the light and the way!
Everybody in the house say
I am the light and the way!
Everybody in the house say
I am the light and the way!
Everybody in the house say

Who? Who gonna burn?
Willie, Willie The Torch
Next!
Who gonna burn?

Next!

Who?

Super combustible
Frankly untrustable
Highly inflammable
Danger uncannable
Self-immolation
My vocation
Burn, little brother, burn!

Now, just burn!
(leave it out!)
Just burn, sucker, burn!
Just burn!
(leave it out)
Just burn, sucker, burn!
Burn!
(leave it out)
Just burn, sucker, burn!
Burn!
(leave it out)
Just burn, sucker, burn!

Well, I’m Willie
Willie The Torch
And I’m here to confirm all reports
I am true to the name
That is written in flame
On the lips of my closest consort

I’m Willie
Willie The Torch
A-K-A The Human Flame
I’ve got talent from god
Brings me money and fame
The man of the match
By any other name
I’ve proved it up and down the Gold Coast
And tonight!
If the money is right!
I’ll prove it again!

Watch this now!

Huh?

Well, I’m Willie
Willie The Torch
And I’m here to confirm all reports
It’s a matter of style
Burning holes in shagpile
One of my favourite sports

Your laughter makes me sick
Your self-immolation is quite another kick
Bore me!
Your type never learns
Pay fifteen dollars a head
Watch The Torch!
Now walk it home

Go on smother me
Spray me with foam
It ain’t no use
I’m Willie The Torch
I burn up alone!

Burn! (leave it out)
Just burn!
