Ev'ry 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 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 came 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 ev'ry girl I danced with stuck to me tight.

Every day, wherever I stray,

the kids all round me flock.

A fella 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.
