London Bridge (Live Broadcast 1966)

London Bridge is falling down
See the people in my town
They're the ones who bring it down
That's true, they've been for centuries
Walking by it and saying, you know
London Bridge really is falling down, poor thing
It just fell down in shame
My fair lady-o

Now maybe if someone would encourage it a little bit
London Bridge is falling up
Save the tea leaves in my cup
Guess the cup is cracking up
My fair lady-o
I'll have to get a Pyrex one

London Bridge is up for sale
Booze heads put my friend in jail
Spent my bridge money on bail
My fair lady-o
Sure would've like to have bought that bridge
Couldn't let him go to jail

If the bridge belonged to me
I would serve you tarts and tea
Smiles, that's all the tolls would be
Don't grant you people would be getting across at all
My fair lady-o

On the bridge there stands a car
Painted with peculiar flowers
It's the Beatles' it's not ours
Guess they're looking at the bridge
Hope they buy it
My fair lady-o

London Bridge is falling down
Something like that
London Bridge is coming down
Coming down on London Bridge
Ice cubes melting in my fridge
They always, do you know English fridges are terrible

They're always melting things and
Ice cubes are dripping all over the floor
And the vegetables are all rotten and
Your friend turns to you in her very British way and she says
You know I paid two bob for this
It smells a bit peculiar doesn't it
But don't you think well, we can serve it anyway, and she does

Coming down on London Bridge
Mutton rotting in my fridge
Coming dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Coming-ming-ming-ming-ming-ming
A little electronic music there for your pleasure
Coming down on London Bridge
My fair lady-o
