The Harder They Fall

London Bridge is falling down

And the people want their crown

They are not fooling a-round

Gimme my crown, gimme my crown, gimme my crown

So I'll say these words to you

Though you won't believe a word I say

Gonna say the words anyway

Poems are pretty, tales are tall

Only the witches recall

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Jack and Jill went up the hill

They were looking for a thrill

But she forgot to take her pill

Gimme my pill, gimme my pill, gimme my pill

Through our fantasies we fly

In the prison of our dreams we die

Dieting in an apple pie

Poems are pretty, tales are tall

Only the witches recall

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Mary had a little lamb

Couldn't make it with a man

She buried babies in the sand

Gimme my sand, gimme my sand, gimme my sand

So the visions came to stay

She was beheaded on a holiday

That's the price you have to pay

Poems are pretty, tales are tall

Only the witches recall

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Mother goose is on the loose

Stealing lines from Lenny Bruce

Drinking booze and killing Jews

Gimme my Jews, gimme my booze, gimme my Jews

Six million jingles can't be wrong

From the dragon to the Viet Cong

Fairy tales have come along

Poems are pretty, tales are tall

Only the witches recall

The bigger they are

The harder they fall
