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 back 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
the ones who bring it down
(It's true been for centuries,
by it and saying, you know,
London Bridge really is down, poor thing,
it fell down in shame)
My lady-o

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)

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

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

On the there stands a car
Painted peculiar flowers
the Beatles' it's not ours
(Guess looking at the bridge)
(Hope buy it)
My fair

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

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