The Bells of London Town the complete rhyme at Seligor's castle page Oranges and Lemons
 THE
BELLS OF LONDON TOWN
Gay go up, and gay go down, to ring the
bells of London town.
Bull's eyes and targets,
say the bells of St. Margaret's.
Brickbats
and tiles, say the bells of St. Giles.
Halfpence
and farthings, say the bells of St.
Martin's.
Oranges and lemons say the bells
of St. Clements.
Pancakes and fritters, say the
bells of St. Peter's.
Two sticks and an
apple, say the bells of Whitechapel.
Old Father
Baldpate, say the slow bells at Aldgate.
You
owe me ten shillings, say the bells of St.
Helen's.
Poker and tongs, say the bells of St.
John's
Kettle and Pans, say the bells of St.
Anne'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 at Stepney.
I am sure I don't know, says the great
bell at Bow.
Here comes a candle to light you to
bed,
and here comes a chopper to chop off your
head.
This I think is the complete rhyme of
Oranges and Lemons
and the Bells of London
Town.
