Luyện nghe bài hát LONDON BRIDGE SONG, THE

Joni's lighthearted take on "London Bridge" was a crowd pleaser in her 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 playing the smaller, more intimate venues she has always enjoyed most.

(Spoken are in italics)

London is falling down
See the in my town
the ones who bring it down
(It's true been for centuries,
by it and saying, you know,
London Bridge really is falling down, thing,
it just fell in shame)
My lady-o

London is falling up
the tea leaves in my cup
Guess the cup is up
My fair
(I'll have to get a one)

London is up for sale
heads put my friend in jail
Spent my money on bail
My fair
(Sure would've 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 would be
(Don't grant you people would be getting at all)
My lady-o

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

London Bridge is falling
(Something that)
London is coming down
Coming down on London
Ice melting 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 your friend turns to you in her very 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)

down on London Bridge
Mutton in my fridge
dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

(A little music there for your pleasure)
Coming down on Bridge
My fair
