Ever since Judy was a kid
Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy loved the bridge
Now they wanna take it away
And I can’t hear my Judy say
“Don’t take, take, take my bridge away
Take, take, take, take, take it today
Don’t take my bridge away”
Johnny pulled up
Traffic got stuck
Sittin’ there waitin’ in his old pickup
Lit a cigarette
Kinda lost his head
Then he started screamin’
This is what he said
He’s waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Yeah let’s go
I hate to see my Judy cry
So please, please, please, please tell me why
Why the bridge had to go
Tell me why ‘cause I need to know
Don’t take, take, take my bridge away
Take, take, take, take, take it today
Don’t take my bridge away
Jeanne was stopped
Got into her car
Headin’ downtown to the Nautical Bar
Bangin’ on the dashboard
Beatin’ on a drum
Screamin’ in the front seat
Coughin’ up a lung
She’s waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Judy loves the bridge
Judy loves the bridge
Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy loves the bridge
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
Don’t take my bridge away
Mister James Brown
Comin’ through town
In a green Cadillac with the top pulled down
Gotta make the show
Really gotta go
I don’t gotta tell you
‘Cause everybody knows
He’s waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Waitin’ for the, waitin’ for the uh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
Don’t take my bridge away
Don’t take, take, take my bridge away
Take, take, take, take, take it today
Don’t take my bridge away
Don’t take my bridge away
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh
Don’t take my bridge away
Don’t take my bridge away
Waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge, waitin’ for the bridge
