伦敦桥，或者伦敦桥要倒了，是一首非常知名的传统童谣，来自"鹅妈妈童谣"。它们绝对不像大家对童谣的印象大多是充满童趣与温馨的。这些古老且残酷的童谣可以追溯到当时的时代背景及社会人文风貌，藉由童谣的黑暗面，能让近代的人们更了解历史。

歌曲最早期的印刷记录版本是1744年的，在一本名为Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book 的书出现。现存最古老的伦敦桥版本可能是在1823年绅士杂志的一名记者听见了一名的妇女在查尔斯二世 （1660至1685年） 统治时期成长的口述：London Bridge is broken down(注意：歌词有变，后来的版本是“falling down”,也就是“正在倒下来”，在这里是“已经倒塌”，有趣的是：后世的版本反而是“正在倒下来”）

London Bridge is falling down,

Falling down, falling down,

London Bridge is falling down,

My fair Lady.

Build it up with wood and clay,

Wood and clay, wood and clay,

Build it up with wood and clay,

My fair Lady.

Wood and clay will wash away,

Wash away, wash away,

Wood and clay will wash away,

My fair Lady.

Build it up with bricks and mortar,

Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,

Build it up with bricks and mortar,

My fair Lady.

Bricks and mortar will not stay,

Will not stay, will not stay,

Bricks and mortar will not stay,

My fair Lady.

Build it up with iron and steel,

Iron and steel, iron and steel,

Build it up with iron and steel,

My fair Lady.

Iron and steel will bend and bow,

Bend and bow, bend and bow,

Iron and steel will bend and bow,

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.

Silver and gold will be stolen away,

Stolen away, stolen away,

Silver and gold will be stolen away,

My fair Lady.

Set a man to watch all night,

Watch all night, watch all night,

Set a man to watch all night,

My fair Lady.

Suppose the man should fall asleep,

Fall asleep, fall asleep,

Suppose the man should fall asleep?

My fair Lady.

Give him a pipe to smoke all night,

Smoke all night, smoke all night,

Give him a pipe to smoke all night,

My fair Lady.

伦敦桥中文歌词：

伦敦桥要塌下来，

塌下来，塌下来。

伦敦桥要塌下来，

我美丽的淑女。

用铁栏来建筑，

铁栏杆，铁栏杆。

用铁栏来建筑，

我美丽的淑女。

铁栏会变弯曲，

变弯曲，变弯曲，

铁栏会变弯曲，

我美丽的淑女。

用金银来建筑，

金和银，金和银，

用金和银来建筑，

我美丽的淑女 。

金和银我还没得到，

没得到，没得到

金和银我还没得到，

我美丽的淑女。
