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)

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

London Bridge is up
Save the tea in my cup
Guess the cup is up
My lady-o
(I'll have to get a one)

London Bridge is up for
Booze heads put my in jail
Spent my bridge on bail
My lady-o
(Sure would've like to 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 tolls be
(Don't you people would be getting across at all)
My fair

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

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 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)

Coming down on Bridge
Mutton in my fridge
dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

(A little electronic there for your pleasure)
Coming down on London
My lady-o
