London Bridge is Falling Down

London Bridge is Falling Down - lyrics and music

London Bridge is Falling Down is one of the most popular nursery rhymes of all times. It was written in England almost 300 years ago.

Singing game: London Bridge is Falling Down is often used as a "singing game". Two players make an arch with their hands. The other players walk (or dance) trough this arch. At the end of each verse (at the word "lady"), the arch is lowered and one player is being caught.

Note: Explain to the children that it`s not dangerous walking or driving on a bridge. It will never "fall down"...

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady.

Built it up with iron bars,
Iron bars, Iron bars
Built it up with iron bars
My fair lady.

Built it up with silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Built it up with silver and gold
My fair lady.
Gold and silver I have none
I have none, I have none
Gold and silver I have none
My fair lady.
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady.
