Rookery Rock
Live in a place off Drury Lane / Wild Court’s the name
Live in a house seen better days / Not an inch to spare and a hell of a maze
Not far from the Rookery / Don’t go there at night
And don’t go in the daytime / You’ve only got one life
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
Just down the road place caught alight / Everyone got out alive
Ellen called “are the kids all right” / Someone said they might still be inside
Ellen ran to the top of the house / Went from floor to floor
Couldn’t find any children, they were all safe / But she couldn’t get back to the door
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
May be a place really rough / Some will cut your throat
But most us just get along / rowing the same old boat
Everybody’s Irish / Is there anyone left back there
They said they saw St Patrick / Down in Leicester Square
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
Live in a place off Drury Lane / Wild Court’s the name
Live in a house seen better days / Not an inch to spare and a hell of a maze
Not far from the Rookery / Don’t go there at night
And don’t go in the daytime / [you’ve] only got one life
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
