lyrics

The London Bridge is falling. The Tower of Pisa is leaning.
The Statue of Liberty is green with envy.
Penny for your thoughts. Penny for your loaves,
For your clothes, the dress code, the tradition of all things.
London Bridge is falling.
India's got salt on its coast and there's a tea party in Boston.
The London Bridge is...
Made of wood and clay but that wouldn't stay.
No matter how hard the people prayed the materials just washed away.
They could have used rocks. Rocks don't bend or bow.
But quite frankly they had too many enemies to stone
In the empire. The empire state.
The empire state is building.
The Taj is on fire. These tourist traps make a killing.
Heathens bow down to the siren.
There's an emergency for bread and cheese. There are riots in the street.
The earth shall inherit the meek
When Canada puts up a fence because their medicine's so cheap.
America's asleep. The old man is snoring
And London bridge is falling.
I've got the best seat in the house. They hired me as a watchman.
London Bridge is falling
India's got salt on its coast and there's a tea party in Boston.
London Bridge is...
made of stainless steel and wrought iron.
That wall of China ain't so great. I built a bridge over a hymen.
It goes up to the sky and mother Mary is crying.
My fair lady, don't cry. It's gonna be alright.
'Cause I'm alive. I'm alive and kicking.
Tea Party in Boston. The London Bridge is falling.
The London Bridge is falling? Ahhhhgghhhhh!
