London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Carl Davis[00:00:00]

Written by：Edward Elgar[00:00:00]

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

London pride is a flower that's free[00:00:11]

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

And our pride it for ever will be[00:00:18]

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

The vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high[00:00:25]

Woa Liza little London sparrows[00:00:29]

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

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

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

Nothing ever can quite replace[00:00:43]

The grace of London town[00:00:47]

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

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

Though it has a latin name in town and country side[00:01:03]

We in England call it London pride[00:01:08]

London pride has been handed down to us[00:01:16]

London pride is a flower that's free[00:01:19]

London pride means our own dear town to us[00:01:22]

And our pride it for ever will be[00:01:26]

Hey lady when the day is dawning see the policeman yawning[00:01:29]

On his lonely beat[00:01:34]

Gay lady mayfair in the morning[00:01:37]

Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:40]

Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:44]

All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:48]

Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:52]

The charm of London town[00:01:56]

In our city darkened now street and square and crescent[00:02:03]

We can feel our living past in our shadowed present[00:02:08]

Ghosts beside our starlit thames[00:02:14]

Who lived and loved and died[00:02:18]

Keep throughout the ages London pride[00:02:21]

London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:29]

London pride is a flower that's free[00:02:32]

London pride means our own dear town to us[00:02:36]

And our pride it for ever will be[00:02:39]

Grey city stubbornly implanted[00:02:43]

Taken so for granted for a thousand years[00:02:46]

Stay city smokily enchanted[00:02:50]

Cradle of our memories our hopes and fears[00:02:53]

Every blitz your resistance[00:02:59]

Toughening from the ritz[00:03:02]

To the anchor and crown[00:03:04]

Nothing ever could override the pride of London town[00:03:07]
