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>
