Luyện nghe bài hát LONDON BRIDGE SONG, THE

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

(Spoken are in italics)

Bridge is falling 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 really is falling down, poor thing,
it fell down in shame)
My lady-o

London is falling up
Save the tea in my cup
the cup is cracking up
My lady-o
(I'll to get a Pyrex one)

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

If the bridge to me
I would you tarts and tea
Smiles, all the tolls would be
(Don't grant you would be getting across at all)
My fair

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

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

(They always, do you know those fridges are terrible, they're 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 you think... well, we can serve it anyway" and she does)

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

(A electronic music there for your pleasure)
Coming on London Bridge
My lady-o
