SONG NOTES

London Bridge is Falling Down, a folk song from England, is also known as My Fair Lady, or just London Bridge. The lyrics first originated in England in the 17th century, and the tune as we know it today in the 19th century.

There are multiple verses that you can choose to incorporate, describing all of the ways that the bridge is either coming down, or being built up. Below are a few examples:

London Bridge is broken down…

Build is up with wood and clay…

Build it up with sticks and stones…

Build it up with bricks and mortar…

Build it up with iron and steel…
