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 playing the smaller, more venues she has always enjoyed most.

(Spoken are in italics)

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

London is falling up
the tea leaves in my cup
Guess the cup is up
My lady-o
(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 would've like to have that bridge)
(Couldn't let him go to jail)

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

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

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

(They always, do you know those fridges are terrible, they're always melting things and ice cubes are 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 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
rotting in my fridge
Coming

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