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 people in my
They're the who bring it down
(It's they've been for centuries,
by it and saying, you know,
London really is falling down, poor thing,
it fell down in shame)
My lady-o

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

Bridge is up for sale
Booze heads put my in jail
Spent my bridge money on
My fair
(Sure would've to have bought 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 would be
(Don't you people would be getting across at all)
My fair

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

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

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

down on London Bridge
Mutton in my fridge
Coming

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