Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
Are you ready for this?
Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit
Oh
It's me
Fergie
Polow
(Fergie, Ferg, what's up baby?)
When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)
All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)
I'm such a lady, but I'm dancing like a hoe (oh shit)
'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go (oh shit)
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
Drinks start pouring
And my speech start slurring
Everybody start looking real good
That Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels)
It's like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I'm like, get up out my face
Before I turn around and spray your ass with mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that, I got the bass
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?

The song, "London Bridge" by Black Eyed Peas/Fergie is a club anthem that is all about partying and having fun. Fergie, the lead singer of the group, is telling the audience to get ready for a night of wild fun. The song has a catchy beat and an infectious chorus that makes you want to dance.
The lyrics of the song start with Fergie introducing herself, along with her friend, Polow. She then talks about how she enters the club, and all the people part ways to let her in because of her VIP status. She goes on to say that she is there to have fun and dance, and she does not care if people judge her.
The chorus of the song is the most significant part, where Fergie talks about how every time she is near her love interest, her "London Bridge wants to go down." The lyrics have a sexual connotation, where the London Bridge represents her body, and she feels aroused in the presence of her lover.
Overall, the song is about partying, drinking, and having a good time with friends. It portrays Fergie as a confident, independent woman who knows how to have fun despite being judged by society.

I think the most beautiful thing about the Black Eyed Peas is that even when one of them goes solo the other members make a cameo in each others videos. If thats not the definition of a good friend I don't know what is
