/ˌɒrɪndʒɪz ən ˈlemənz/
/ˌɔːrɪndʒɪz ən ˈlemənz/
- an old English children's song about the sounds of church bells in various parts of London. It is often part of a game that young children play: two of them form an arch with their arms and the rest take turns to run under the arch until one of them is caught when the arch falls at the end of the song. A similar game is played with London Bridge is Falling Down.see also nursery rhyme“'Oranges and Lemons'say the bells of St Clements.'You owe me five farthings'say the bells of St Martins.'When will you pay me?’say the bells of Old Bailey.'When I grow rich'say the bells of Shoreditch.'When will that be?’say the bells of Stepney.'I do not know'says the great bell at Bow.Here comes a candle to light you to bed.Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.Chip, chop, chip, chop; the last man's DEAD!”
一首古老的英国儿童歌曲，讲述伦敦各地教堂的钟声。这通常是幼儿玩的游戏的一部分：其中两个人用手臂形成一个拱门，其余的人轮流在拱门下跑，直到歌曲结束时拱门落下时，其中一个被抓住。伦敦桥倒塌时也玩过类似的游戏。另请参阅童谣“‘橘子和柠檬’圣克莱门茨的钟声说。‘你欠我五法新’圣马丁斯的钟声说。‘你什么时候付钱给我？ '老贝利的钟声说。'当我变得富有时'肖尔迪奇的钟声说。'那会是什么时候？'斯特普尼的钟声说。'我不知道''弓的大钟声说。蜡烛来了。照亮你上床睡觉。这里有一把砍刀要砍掉你的头。砍，砍，砍，砍；砍，砍，砍，砍；砍，砍，砍，砍；最后一个人死了！”
