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 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 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 is up for sale
heads put my friend in jail
Spent my bridge money on
My lady-o
(Sure would've like to have that bridge)
(Couldn't let him go to jail)

If the belonged to me
I serve you tarts and tea
Smiles, that's all the tolls be
(Don't you people would be getting across at all)
My fair

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

London Bridge is down
(Something that)
London Bridge is coming
down on London Bridge
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 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
Mutton rotting in my
Coming

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