lyrics

The bridge goes up, the bridge goes down
Joins two halves of this little town
Now everybody can gather round
‘Cause the bridge goes up and the bridge goes down

There’s a line of cars about ten miles long
That’s enough time to sing this song
Take a new bridge and that would be wrong
There’s a line of cars about ten miles long

The bridge went up and a boat went through
Made big trouble for a little canoe
Now there’s a woman in a bubble with a bad hairdo
The bridge went up and a boat went through

Don’t you honk, don’t you yell
Waitin’ for the bridge, can’t you tell
Impatient people tend to go to hell
Don’t you honk, don’t you yell

The bridge goes up, the bridge goes down
Joins two halves of this little town
Now everybody can gather round
‘Cause the bridge goes up and the bridge goes down
Now everybody can gather round
‘Cause the bridge goes up and the bridge goes down
Now everybody can gather round
‘Cause the bridge goes up and the bridge goes down
