Bedknobs and Broomsticks movie - Solid Citizen lyrics
rate me<br>
Walter was a wastrel, <br>
He never cared for work.<br>
Till the day that we fell in love, on his jobs he’d shirked.<br>
But on the day we married<br>
Ambition struck his heart<br>
He set out to make his mark in life, <br>
Looking proud and smart.<br>
<br>
He’s a solid citizen<br>
Solid as they come<br>
Staunch and steady Walter, he’s me rock of Gibraltar.<br>
he’s a solid citizen,<br>
All his life he spends<br>
Mixing mortar with sand and water, making cement.<br>
<br>
All together now!<br>
<br>
He’s a solid citizen,<br>
Solid as they come,<br>
Staunch and steady Walter, he’s me rock of Gibraltar.<br>
He’s a solid citizen<br>
All his life is spent<br>
Mixing mortar with sand and water, making cement.<br>
<br>
Sixty years he labored in the construction trade.<br>
Fame and fortune had passed him by,<br>
No great mark he’d made.<br>
Then the hand of fortune brushed him,<br>
When stumbling from his pub.<br>
He staggered by the building site <br>
And tripped into his tub.<br>
<br>
Now he’s a solid citizen<br>
Solid as they come<br>
Staunch and steady Walter, he’s me rock of Gibraltar.<br>
he’s a solid citizen<br>
Fitting how he went<br>
Now he’s standing tall in the bricklayer’s hall<br>
His own monument!<br>
Now he’s standing tall in the bricklayer’s hall<br>
His own monument!<br>
<br>
<br>
