The Lamplighter lyrics

1850, in London

Heavy footsteps on the ground

In the nascent night, the lamplighter

Has started to light dozens of fires

But there is one more thing he is good at:

He also knows how to turn on women's hearts

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze

With his long stick, in London

He lights the lampposts one by one

To protect people till the morning comes

Like his father did before and so will his son

But there is one more thing he is good at:

He also knows how to turn on women's hearts

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze

The morning light comes, the lamplighter

Has used up all his whale blubber

Exhausted and alone

He falls into bed grey like a firestone

As there is one thing he's not good at:

He doesn't know how to keep one woman's heart

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze

Lamp lamp lamp lamplighter

Love love love love-lighter

When he hits you with his loving gaze

You'll burn in this appealing blaze
