Oranges and Lemons
/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.
