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