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 in the early days when Joni was playing the smaller, more intimate venues she has always enjoyed most.

(Spoken are in italics)

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

Bridge 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 bridge money on
My lady-o
(Sure like to have bought that bridge)
(Couldn't let him go to jail)

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

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

London Bridge is down
(Something that)
London Bridge is coming
Coming on London Bridge
Ice cubes 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)

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 London
My fair
