The new songWin Or Loseacts as a chorus for the 4 verses of the English folk-songLondon Bridge.
Two children form an arch by raising their arms above their heads to make a bridge
for the other children to pass under. These two children secretly decide which one
represents silver and which one gold. The other children now pass under the bridge
formed by their arms.At the word "My Fair Lady", the bridge falls. The child who is
caught is asked which he prefers "gold or silver". This child takes its place behind
the one who represents its choice and the game continues until all have been chosen.
When all the children have been caught under the bridge, a tug-of-war between gold
and silver ends the game.
