WITH MY LITTLE STICK OF BLACKPOOL ROCK
Written by Harry Gifford, Fred E. Cliffe and George Formby
George Formby - 1937

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 you're 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."


No chords/tune found. e mail sent.

Cy, welcome to Mudcat !

(Cy is a veteran of the Scottish Folk Scene and a fine singer of traditional songs. He also owns the "Tass" public house in Edinburgh where many a fine session may be had.)

Cy, I hope to see you again within the next couple of months. I am returning to Scotland at the end of March. Regards to all in the Tass.

Murray

Just received an e mail from Cy, and he says he is not who Murray thinks he is, but he said thanks for the lyrics, and does anybody have chords?

Mmm, we have a mystery here. I assume we have a Guest who for reasons best known to himself has chosen to assume Cy's identity.

Although I must admit I found the request for a George Formby song to be somehat untypical of Cy Laurie's usual choice of material ....

Murray
