    Monday I start to do nothing
    Tuesday I've nothing to do
    Wednesday is early closing
    And Thursday I knock off at two
    Friday I tidy the kitchen
    And settle the things on the shelf.
    Saturday and Sunday
    A bit of a rest
    And the rest of the week to myself.

    London Bridge is broken down
    Dance over my Lady Lee
    London Bridge is broken down
    With a gay lady
    Build it up with iron and steel
    Dance over my Lady Lee
    Build it up with iron and steel
    With a gay lady.
    Wood and clay will wash away
    Dance over my Lady Lee
    Wood and clay will wash away
