[C7]One afternoon the band conductor [F]up on his stand Some [D7]how he lost his baton it flew [G7]out of his hand So I [C7]jumped in his place and then con[E7]ducted the [Am]band With my [D7]little stick of [G7]Blackpool [C]Rock

With my [C]little stick of Blackpool Rock, [G]along the promenade I [Dm]stroll [G7]In [C]the ball [C7]room I went [G7]dancing each night No [D7]wonder every girl that danced with me, [G7]stuck to me tight [C7]Every day [F]wherever I stray the [D7]kids all round me [G7]flock.

[C7]A fellow took my photograph it [F]cost one and three. I said when it was [D7]done, “Is that su[G7]pposed to be me?” “You’ve [C7]properly mucked it up the only [E7]thing I can [Am]see is My [D7]little stick of [G7]Blackpool [C]Rock [C7]Lordy Lordy, My [D7]little stick of [G7]Blackpool [C]Rock”

[C7]A girl while bathing clung to me, I [F]shouted out, “Oh!” She cried,”I think I’m [D7]drowning, and you’ll [G7]save me I know ” I said, “[C7]Well if you’re drowning would [E7]you mind letting [Am]go Of my [D7]little stick of [G7]Blackpool [C]Rock”
