With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock (George Formby)
Explanation: Blackpool is an old-fashioned seaside resort with a famous tower in the county of Lancashire, NW England. Rock is a hard, stick-shaped boiled-sugar sweet/candy usually flavoured with mint and with the town's name running all the way through it (Google 'Stick of rock'!). George Formby (1904-1961) was a Lancashire-born singer-songwriter and comedian who famously sang comical songs and played a ukelele. Keep smiling!
