Luyện nghe bài hát LONDON BRIDGE SONG, THE

Joni's lighthearted take on "London Bridge" was a crowd pleaser in her mid-sixties club show, before she signed her first recording contract. This transcription includes spoken patter that, combined with her music, enchanted audiences back in the early days when Joni was the smaller, more intimate venues she has always enjoyed most.

(Spoken are in italics)

London Bridge is down
See the in my town
They're the ones who it down
(It's true they've for centuries,
by it and saying, you know,
London Bridge is falling down, poor thing,
it fell down in shame)
My fair

London Bridge is up
Save the tea in my cup
the cup is cracking up
My fair
(I'll to get a Pyrex one)

London Bridge is up for
Booze heads put my in jail
Spent my money on bail
My fair
(Sure like to have bought that bridge)
(Couldn't let him go to jail)

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

On the bridge stands a car
Painted with peculiar
It's the Beatles' it's not
(Guess they're at the bridge)
(Hope buy it)
My lady-o

London Bridge is down
(Something that)
London Bridge is down
down on London Bridge
Ice cubes in my fridge

(They always, do you know those fridges are terrible, they're always melting and ice cubes are dripping all over the floor)
(And the vegetables are all rotten and 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)

Mutton in my fridge
Coming

(A little electronic there for your pleasure)
Coming on London Bridge
My fair
