• Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
  Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
  Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
  Are you ready for this?
  Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit
  Oh
  It's me
  Fergie
  The Pen!
  Polow
  (Fergie, Ferg, what's up baby?)
  
  When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
  Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
  VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
  I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)
  
  All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
  Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)
  I'm such a lady, but I'm dancing like a hoe (oh shit)
  'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go (oh shit)
  
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like
  
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like
  
  Drinks start pouring
  And my speech start slurring
  Everybody start looking real good
  
  That Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
  Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels)
  It's like every time I get up on the dude
  Paparazzi put my business in the news
  And I'm like, get up out my face
  Before I turn around and spray your ass with mace
  My lips make you wanna have a taste
  You got that, I got the bass
  
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like
  
  Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
  Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
  Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?
  Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
  Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
  Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?
  
  Another A-T-L
  Cali callabo
  Fergie and Polow
  
  When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
  Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
  VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
  I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)
  
  All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
  Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)
  I'm such a lady, but I'm dancing like a ho (oh shit)
  'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go (oh shit)
  
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like
  How come every time you come around
  My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
  London, London, London
  Wanna go down like
  London, London, London
  Be going down like

• Jeff from Boston, MaThis is a good example of trying to stretch one metaphor into a whole song. The only reason this was at all successful is Fergie's sex appeal - women want to be her and men want to sleep with her. By contrast, "Big Girls Don't Cry", while also not a great song, is better sung by Fergie, and is more interesting lyrically and musically.
• Jim from Pennsauken, Njthis song is about whenever her man comes around she wants to have sex with him
• Jim from Pennsauken, Njthis song is about whenever her man comes around she wants to have sex with him
• Jessie from Dallas, Txehhhhhhhh its ok
• Natasha from Oklahoma City, Oki have to agree with paul marlo on this. it does sound alot like something missy would record. it's a far cry from "big girls don't cry" and "clumsy". it sounds more like "my humps".
  and caitlin, she doesn't do alot of singin with BIP, remember "my humps". same concept, same style of music, same lyrical topic.
  and kelly, you're right this sounds alot like "hollaback girl".
• Derek from Cambridge, New ZealandFergie is one of the best singers around today. She doesn't pretend to be "Robert Plant" or Yoko Ono!!! She has a great range, and her latest single ' Big Girls Don't Cry' proves this
• Buddy from Barbourville, Kywasn't there a song by an old artist where instead of the guy screeming "oh snap!" he screams "oh sh**!" or is that just an uncut version of the song?
• Emma from Cambridge, United StatesThis song is cool ive got it on my ipod and it sound cool as
• Cody from Arlington Heights, Ilthis song was rated the worst of the year by rolling stone magazine or so i heard...
• Joe from Traverse City, MiI though this song was about sex with for people. there is a sex position called the bridge. the boys come around and she has sex with them with an other group.
• Kelly Mackenzie from Edmonton, CanadaIt's funny. You can actually sing "Holla Back Girl" through this whole song, and it fits perfectly...
• Caitlin from Upper Township, NjWhile its a deacent song, I really think she was better off with the BIP. Fergie has a great voice, but she doesn't use it in this song.I also think the lyrics are a little concieted. same opinion for Fergalicious. deceant song, doesn't use voice, lyrics conceited, and better off with BIP
• Amber from Austin, Txthe song London bridge is awsome they should play it on the radio more often.

• Mike from Bristol, Tnfergie is crazy hot , though
• Mike from Bristol, TnI liked this song the first time I heard it--when it was called "Holla Back Girl"
• Sam from Portsmouth, VaFergie is better with Black Eye Peas. This sang sucks.
• Paul Marlo from Perthsounds just like missy elliot
• Sum Sum from New Delhinice dancing track..but very tacky lyrics. i like this song.
• Shannon Mulvany from Spokane, Wa this song isn't the best way to start off a solo career, considering the song she sung on the Posiedon movie sountrack, won't let you fall, is AMAZING.
