The London Bridge Song

by Joni Mitchell

London Bridge is falling down
Say the people in my town
They're the ones who bring it down
My fair lady-o

London Bridge is falling up
Say the tea leaves in my cup
Guess the cup is cracking up
My fair lady-o

London Bridge is up for sale
Booze heads put my friend in jail
Spent my bridge money on bail
My fair lady-o

If the bridge belonged to me
I would serve you tarts and tea
Smiles, that's all the tolls would be
My fair lady-o

On the bridge there stands a car
Painted with peculiar flowers
It's the Beatles' it's not ours
My fair lady-o

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is coming down
Coming down on London Bridge
Ice cubes melting in my fridge

Coming down on London Bridge
Mutton rotting in my fridge
Coming down on London Bridge
My fair lady-o
