My grandmother used to sing to me, London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down, London Bridge is falling down, MY FAIR LADY!
Take the key and LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP take the key and LOCK HER UP my fair lady.
This is just the first part of the song:
London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down,
Falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady!
Take the key and lock her up,
And lock her up.
And lock her up.
Take the key and lock her up,
My fair lady!
How will we then build it up?,
Build it up,
Build it up.
How we will then build it up?,
My fair lady!
Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold,
Silver and gold.
Build 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!

The song is about immurement (1a: to enclose within or as if within walls; b: IMPRISON; 2: to build into a wall especially: to entomb in a wall) ... never sang it to my kids again!
