(Tune: 'Hi Lee, Hi Lo, Hi Lup up up') <br /> <br />We've got a bridge at Echols Street <br /> And it is built to stay. <br />We're thanking all the townspeople <br /> By marching here today. <br /> <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> <br />A bridge is what we've waited for <br /> For oh so many years. <br />And now our eyes are smiling <br /> Instead of crying tears. <br /> <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> <br />For shopping and the library <br /> We now don't go around <br />Because the bridge at Echols Street <br /> Has let us join the town. <br /> <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; <br /> Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. <br /> <br /> <br /> Children's march to Echols Street Bridge, <br /> Vienna, Virginia, May 30,1964<br /><br />Frank V.
