lyrics

One two five and counting

Refrain
Massive icon
Of the thirty nine steps
Picture postcard
The world accepts

Verse 1
She was built in an age
Where the sky was the limit
By a nation with something to prove
She was built big and strong
To reflect a proud people
With an eye on the gaze of the world

Chorus
One two five and counting
As she whiles away the years
Munny’s a wish been granted
On a penny sent ower her piers

Verse 2
German bombs and the storms
Tried tae weaken her worth
And the rust it was kept well awa
Through the years she has stood
Brave and tall ‘gin the skyline
As the rollin’ stock gae’d on its way

Refrain
Massive icon
Of the thirty nine steps
Picture postcard
The world accepts
