London Bridge Is Falling Down

London Bridge Is Falling Down 係首好出名嘅英文兒歌。各國有唔同譯本。而廣東話都有首《有隻雀仔跌落水》。

首歌主旋律係咁：

London Bridge Is falling down,

Falling down, Falling down.

London Bridge Is falling down,

My fair lady.

細路仔將首歌拎來玩，重有唔少玩法。最常見嘅玩法係，兩個細路雙手拖手舉高，好似拱橋咁，而其他人排成一行，一路唱，一路穿過橋底，首歌唱到最尾，條橋放低，捉住個細路仔。

典故

由羅馬帝國時期開始，一直有人想響倫敦泰晤士河（River Thames）起倫敦橋（London Bridge）。條橋因為唔同原因，起過冧過好多次。首歌就係講唔同時期，用過好多唔同材料嚟起，最尾都係唔掂 。
