《London Pride》歌词

[00:00:00] London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra Anne Shelton

[00:00:08] London pride has been handed down to us

[00:00:12] London pride is a flower that's free

[00:00:15] London pride means our own dear town to us

[00:00:18] And our pride it forever will be

[00:00:22] Woa Liza see the caster barrows

[00:00:25] Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high

[00:00:28] Woa Liza little London sparrows

[00:00:31] Covent garden market where the casters cry

[00:00:36] Cockney feet mark the beat of history

[00:00:39] Every street pins a memory down

[00:00:42] Nothing ever can quite replace

[00:00:46] The grace of London town

[00:00:53] There's a little city flower every spring unfailing

[00:00:57] Growing in the crevices by some London railing

[00:01:02] Though it has a Latin name in town and country side

[00:01:07] We in England call it London pride

[00:01:15] London pride has been handed down to us

[00:01:18] London pride is a flower that's free

[00:01:21] London pride means our own dear town to us

[00:01:25] And our pride it forever will be

[00:01:28] Hey lady when the day is dawning

[00:01:31] See the policeman yawning

[00:01:33] On his lonely beat

[00:01:35] Gay lady may fair in the morning

[00:01:38] Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street

[00:01:43] Early rain and the pavement's glistening

[00:01:46] All park lane in a shimmering gown

[00:01:50] Nothing ever could break or harm

[00:01:54] The charm of London town

[00:02:01] In our city darkened now street

[00:02:04] And square and crescent

[00:02:06] We can feel our living past in our shadowed present

[00:02:12] Ghosts beside our starlit Thames

[00:02:15] Who lived and loved and died

[00:02:19] Keep throughout the ages London pride

[00:02:26] London pride has been handed down to us

[00:02:30] London pride is a flower that's free

[00:02:33] London pride means our own dear town to us

[00:02:37] And our pride it forever will be

[00:02:40] Grey city stubbornly implanted

[00:02:43] Taken so for granted for a thousand years

[00:02:48] Stay city smoky enchanted

[00:02:50] Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears

[00:02:56] Every blitz your resistance

[00:02:59] Toughening from the Ritz

[00:03:01] To the anchor and crown

[00:03:04] Nothing ever could override the pride of London town
