With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock
Composer(s): Gifford Cliffe; George Formby
Performer(s): George Formby; Kevin Grunill
Every year when summer comes round, off to the sea I go
I don't care if I do spend a pound, I'm rather rash I know
See me dressed like all the sports, in my blazer and a pair of shorts
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll
It may be sticky but I never complain, it's nice to have a nibble at it now and again
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
One afternoon the band conductor up on his stand
Somehow lost his baton - it flew out of his hand
So I jumped in his place and then conducted the band
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll
In my pocket it got stuck I could tell
Cos when I pulled it out I pulled my shirt off as well
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
A girl while bathing clung to me, my wits had to use
She cried, "I'm drowning, and to save me, you won't refuse"
I said, "Well if youre drowning then I don't want to lose
My little stick of Blackpool Rock"
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll
In the ballroom I went dancing each night
No wonder every girl that danced with me, stuck to me tight
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock
A fellow took my photograph it cost one and three
I said when it was done, "Is that supposed to be me?"
"You've properly mucked it up the only thing I can see is
My little stick of Blackpool Rock"
