The Rock Of Gibralter |
| That’s why they call me the rock of Gibraltar |
| That’s why they say my heart is made of stone |
| So don’t you try to lead me to the altar |
| Because Gibraltar is standing alone |
| (Gibraltar is standing alone) |
| I’ve travelled all over from city light to clover |
| I’m selling brushes door to door |
| The ladies know me well they’re buying what I sell |
| But I never let 'em ask for any more |
| And I never put my toes in a door that might be closin' |
| I try to use my winning ways |
| But when I know for certain the lady is a-flirtin' |
| I tell her I’ll be back in thirty days |
| (That's why they call me the rock of Gibraltar |
| That’s why they say my heart is made of stone) |
| So don’t you try to lead me to the altar |
| Because Gibraltar is standing alone |
| (Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone) |
| Now when a lady rushes I sell her two more brushes |
| And then I leaver her at the door |
| I’m always thinking of the freedom that I love |
| 'Cos I’m a man of freedom to the core |
| So it’s not that I am choosy with Isabel or Susie |
| I just like to lead a happy life |
| Give me women, wine and song, then I know I can’t go wrong |
| Until I take a woman for a wife |
| That’s why they call me the rock of Gibraltar |
| That’s why they say my heart is made of stone |
| So don’t you try to lead me to the altar |
| Because Gibraltar is standing alone |
| (Yes, Gibraltar is standing alone) |
| So it happened one morning without any warning |
| I knew that I had met my doom |
| She was pretty, she was sweet, she swept me off my feet |
| She didn’t even have to buy a broom |
| They used to call me the rock of Gibraltar |
| And now they say my heart is made of clay |
| But after she had led me to the altar |
| Then old Gibraltar crumbled away |
| Old Gibraltar took a tumble that day! |
