Can you Amtake me across the channel? London Fbridge is falling Edown

All oAmver the wEorld it's the Dmsame, it's the Esame, it's theAm same

The Amworld is getting flatter, the sky is fFalling all arEound

But nAmothing is the matter for I Fnever cry in Etown

And a Dmlove like ours, my Amdear, is best mEeasured when it's Amdown

And I Dmnever buy umbAmrellas for there's alEways one Emaj7around (and)

All oAver the wCorld Dmstrangers talk oEnly about the Amweather (and)

All oAmver the wEorld it's the Dmsame, it's the Esame, it's theAm same
