A tower in the heart of London
was struck by a helicopter
The tower stands
the copter lands
upon the ground
in a heaping mound
and on a crane
lays all the blame

then dies
It chops the air
then lays bare
Its constant whirring
is cause for stirring
and in the end, slain
by a crain

In helicopter:
My, what is that up ahead
Oh no! Now I’m dead.

Fly fly in the sky
Die die by the London eye
No breakfast on rye
