Oranges and lemons, | |
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 a candle to light you to bed, | |
[1] | And here comes a chopper to chop off your head! |
Section from a 19th-century engraving byNathaniel Whittock from a drawing by Antony van den Wyngaerde (c. 1543–50), which shows the towers and spires of many of the churches mentioned in the rhyme | |
Here is a longer version: | |
Gay go up and gay go down, | |
To ring the bells of London town. | |
Oranges and lemons, | |
Say the bells of St. Clements. | |
Bull's eyes and targets, | |
Say the bells of St. Margret's. | |
Brickbats and tiles, | |
Say the bells of St. Giles'. | |
Halfpence and farthings, | |
Say the bells of St. Martin's. | |
Pancakes and fritters, | |
Say the bells of St. Peter's. | |
Two sticks and an apple, | |
Say the bells of Whitechapel. | |
Pokers and tongs, | |
Say the bells of St. John's. | |
Kettles and pans, | |
Say the bells of St. Ann's. | |
Old Father Baldpate, | |
Say the slow bells of Aldgate. | |
You owe me ten shillings, | |
Say the bells of St. Helen's. | |
When will you pay me? | |
Say the bells of Old Bailey. | |
When I grow rich, | |
Say the bells of Shoreditch. | |
Pray when will that be? | |
Say the bells of Stepney. | |
I do not know, | |
Says the great bell of Bow. | |
Here comes a candle to light you to bed, | |
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head. | |
Chop chop chop chop | |
The last man's dead! |
Oranges and lemons, | |
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, | |
