Kirsty MacColl - London Bridge Is Falling Down lyrics
[Kirsty MacColl - London Bridge Is Falling Down lyrics]
Days of old when knights were bold
Britain ruled supreme
Songs were sung and tales were told
Life was like a dream
Top men like the great King Arthur
Never came here ever after
Ever since those gallant heroes gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Noted for diplomacy, once the mighty fall
Touching pmp of pageantry
History books all show
Husky dogs and great explorers
Mighty kings and sage warriors
Trouble take me since they're dead and gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Early evening entertainment
People sleeping on the pavement
In the eyes of god we must be wrong
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Time was when a British Empire
Was in full control
France and Spain were just the same
If the truth be known
Now the walls are down in Europe
Forming laws with certain Arabs?
Better get you petrol while you can
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Like the grip of an old King Kong
From South Africa to Hong Kong
Now the times are moving on and
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
In the days gone by we'd pay
For the things we'd got
Now we pay to advertise while we sell the lot
All the companies we started sold
Out on the open market
Where are jobs now that they're gone?
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
If we're sure we want to stay
On this, our base for the US of A
Then it's time that we should say that
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Britain ruled supreme
Songs were sung and tales were told
Life was like a dream
Top men like the great King Arthur
Never came here ever after
Ever since those gallant heroes gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Noted for diplomacy, once the mighty fall
Touching pmp of pageantry
History books all show
Husky dogs and great explorers
Mighty kings and sage warriors
Trouble take me since they're dead and gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Early evening entertainment
People sleeping on the pavement
In the eyes of god we must be wrong
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Time was when a British Empire
Was in full control
France and Spain were just the same
If the truth be known
Now the walls are down in Europe
Forming laws with certain Arabs?
Better get you petrol while you can
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Like the grip of an old King Kong

Now the times are moving on and
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down

Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down
