Oranges and Lemons Songtext
von The Paul O'Brien All Stars Band

Say the bells of St. Clement′s
"You owe me five farthings"
Say the bells of St. Martin's

"When will you pay me?"
Say the bells of Old Bailey
"When I grow rich"
Say the bells of Shoreditch

"When will that be?"
Say the bells of Stepney
"I do not know"
Says the great bell of Bow

Here comes the candle
To light you to bed
And here comes a chopper
To chop off your head


"Pancakes and fritters"
Say the bells of St. Peter′s
"Two sticks and an apple"
Say the bells of Whitechapel

"Old Father Baldpate"
Say the slow bells of Aldgate
"Pokers and tongs"
Say the bells of St. John's

"Kettles and pans"
Say the bells of St. Ann's
"Brickbats and tiles"
Say the bells of St. Giles′

Here comes the candle
To light you to bed
And here comes the chopper
To chop off your head
Chop, chop, chop
