London Bridge is broken down,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
London Bridge is broken down,
With a gay lady.
How shall we build it up again?
Dance o'er my lady lee,
How shall we build it up again,
With a gay lady.
Build it up with silver and gold,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Build it up with silver and gold,
With a gay lady.
Silver and gold will be stole away,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Silver and gold will be stole away,
With a gay lady.
Build it up again with iron and steel,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Build it up again with iron and steel,
With a gay lady.
Iron and steel will bend and bow,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Iron and steel will bend and bow,
With a gay lady.
Build it up with wood and clay,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Built it up with wood and clay,
With a gay lady.
Wood and clay will wash away,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Wood and clay will wash away,
With a gay lady.
Built it up with stone so strong,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Build it up with stone so strong,
With a gay lady.
Huzza! 'twill last for ages long,
Dance o'er my lady lee,
Huzza! 'twill last for ages long,
With a gay lady.
