[QUOTE="Eeralai, post: 2156178, member: 15008"] I thought London Bridge was in Arizona, and so did they when they bought it ;) Anyway, I taught elementary music for awhile and, although I grew up with the "take the key and lock her up" version, the book I culled songs from had a sort of hybrid of many of the versions talked about. It did the iron bars and all that stuff, but when a person got caught in the bridge, they were aksed if they wanted salt or pepper. If it was salt, they were shaken gently. If it was pepper, it was faster. Then they had to choose silver or gold. Nobody was supposed to know which side of the bridge was silver or gold, but eventually some kid said their choice really loud and then everyone knew. The side with the most kids won. The silver and gold part also is in a similar game with a song called "Oranges and Lemons" which is imortalized in the book 1984 about "Here comes a chopper to chop off your head." [/QUOTE]
