The girders under Blackfriars bridge
Are rusting.
And another thing:
The girders under Blackfriars bridge
Could really do with dusting.
The girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Are never cleaned – have never been —
Because there’s nowhere very near
To plug a vacuum cleaner in.
The girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Are caked with dirt and grime and mud
I counted under Blackfriars Bridge
A dozen different kinds of crud.
The girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Aren’t half dirty:
On a scale of one to ten
They’d score about thirty.
The girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Are the filthiest ever attested.
Beside them other girders couldn’t
Dirt-wise get arrested.
But the girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Should be arrested – for serious grime,
And if you’re not up to pressing charges
You can bet your sweet life I’m!
I’m taking out a private prosecution,
I’m really going to risk it,
Because the girders under Blackfriars Bridge
Really take the biscuit!
