Текст песни The Bridge of Steel - John Edmond

He built the Sydney harbour bridge Ralph Freeman was his name
At Mosi-oa-Tunya they said you must do the same
They said build it where the spray upon our faces we can feel
and that is how they founded Freeman's towering bridge of steel
First they tried to fly a kite across the gorge with length of line
But then they fired a rocket attached with lengths
of twine and with with rope and net and with cables
They ferried tools for building Freeman's towering bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
And then in upon the day of April fools
As the sun was rising the workmen downed their tools and the Tonga
tribe were spell bound for it could not be dreamed as
that last girder was set on Freeman's towering bridge of Steel
Once a railway carriage was parked upon the bridge
and men were sitting in it they were talking politics
And the final documents they bore no signature or seal they
were stubborn as the span of Freeman's towering bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
And I have crossed that bridge perhaps 200 times and back
As the might carriage pulled th trains across that creaking track
And I survey the beauty each and every time with zeal and
the majesty and strength of Freeman's towering bridge of steel
It has seen the ghost of Livingston and angels in their flight
It has no special namesake like Birchanov and Bite
And the suicidal antics and the bungee jumpers squeal
will never ever last like Freeman's towering bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala the bridge of steel
Lalala lalala lalala
