Prehistoric	A
	-
	-
Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew	B
Twenty bridges or twenty two	B
Wanted to know what the River knew	B
For they were young and the Thames was old	C
And this is the tale that River told	C
	-
quot I walk my beat before London Town	D
Five hours up and seven down	D
Up I go till I end my run	E
At Tide end town which is Teddington	E
Down I come with the mud in my hands	F
And plaster it over the Maplin Sands	F
But I'd have you know that these waters of mine	E
Were once a branch of the River Rhine	E
When hundreds of miles to the East I went	G
And England was joined to the Continent	H
	-
quot I remember the bat winged lizard birds	I
The Age of Ice and the mammoth herds	I
And the giant tigers that stalked them down	E
Through Regent's Park into Camden Town	E
And I remember like yesterday	J
The earliest Cockney who came my way	J
When he pushed through the forest that lined the Strand	K
With paint on his face and a club in his hand	K
He was death to feather and fin and fur	L
He trapped my beavers at Westminster	L
He netted my salmon he hunted my deer	M
He killed my heron off Lambeth Pier	M
He fought his neighbour with axes and swords	N
Flint or bronze at my upper fords	N
While down at Greenwich for slaves and tin	E
The tall Phoenician ships stole in	E
And North Sea war boats painted and gay	J
Flashed like dragon flies Erith way	J
And Norseman and Negro and Gaul and Greek	O
Drank with the Britons in Barking Creek	O
And life was gay and the world was new	E
And I was a mile across at Kew	E
But the Roman came with a heavy hand	K
And bridged and roaded and ruled the land	K
And the Roman left and the Danes blew in	E
And that's where your history books begin quot	K
