The government have announced That London Bridge is to be closed Under the full moon of May the third All the light houses and seaside roads No I never heard I never read in the news Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by Tap, tap, tap, birds that sing, Telephone calls that do not ring, One, two, three, what's the time ? Who's that hanging off my line ? I know that nothing lasts for ever And I'm just waiting for the sun to set Blowing dust from my loud hailer, on the roof. Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by The ministry of co-operation Are washed and hanging on the line There's a million burning questions To set the Thames alight Now I've joined an exclusive club Just by being more than poor I saw the deputy chairman, on the floor. Come on tell me, who's this for ? Lighting the questions and Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats one by one by Burning the boats one by one Burning the boats.
