The bridge of Avignon.

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Young men they are dancing
They carry on romancing

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Fair ladies they are dancing
The young men are advancing

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Gardeners they are dancing
Muddy boots are prancing

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Dressmakers they are dancing
With colours so entrancing

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Winegrowers they are dancing
Giggling wiggling glancing

On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing, all are dancing
On the bridge of Avignon
All are dancing round and round
Laundrymaids they are dancing
Aprons white from blanching

On the bridge of Avignon
All were really going to town
Leaping up and jumping down
Would you believe it, the bridge fell down.

  • Sur le pont d'Avignon, on y danse, on y danse,
    Sur le pont d'Avignon, on y danse tous en rond.
    Les beaux messieurs font comme ci,
    Les belles dames font comme ça,
    etc…
    mai sla version écossaise va très bien sur la même mélodie, je te le concède 🙂
