Jocs de Falda Cavalcar: Smooth road to London Town (ang)

A smooth road to London town [una llisa carretera cap a la ciitat de Londres]
A smooth road to London town
The road goes up [la carretera puja]
And the road goes down[la carretera baixa]
A smooth road to London town 

But… by and by we come to a dell
and there the roads are not so swell [però allà la carretera no està tan bé]
A bumpy road, a bumpy road [una carretera desigual]
A bumpy road to London town.

A smooth road to London town
A smooth road to London town
The road goes up
And the road goes down
A smooth road to London town

But… by and by we come to a wood
and there the roads are not so good
A rough road, a rough road [una aspre carretera]
A rough road to London town.
