Let all the bells of London sing! St Clements, Stepney, Aldgate, Bow Across blue skies your chimes take wing From shade-filled churches far below St Clements, Stepney, Aldgate, Bow Shoreditch peals in chorus calling From shade-filled churches far below Treble down to tenor falling Shoreditch peals in chorus calling Clapper tongues in towers aspiring Treble down to tenor falling Ring full circle Plain Bob Minor Clapper tongues in towers aspiring "When will you pay me?" "When I'm old" Ring full circle Plain Bob Minor Wake Highgate's drowsing ghostly hoard "When will you pay me?" "When I'm old" Across blue skies your chimes take wing Wake Highgate's drowsing ghostly hoard Let all the bells of London sing!
