London Bridge Is Falling Down

"London Bridge" (or "London Bridge is falling down") is a well-known traditional nursery rhyme that is based on the one of the most famous landmarks in London, London Bridge, which lays on the River Thames, between the city of London and Southwark.
The ghost of Sarah Collins sings this rhyme, while playing with a ball, when she first appears to Maggie Evans (258) who was being imprisoned by the vampire named Barnabas Collins, Sarah's older brother. Later, when Maggie's father and boyfriend showed up at Windcliff Sanitarium to visit her, she became confused and began singing the song, breaking down at the "Take the key and lock her up" portion (276).
