Lynn Anderson - Ding-A-Ling The Christmas Bell lyrics

rate me

ather 'round and I will tell the story of a Christmas bell

That used to shine and chime and ring and why we called him Ding-A-Ling

One of the famous jingle bells is what he was but then he fell

And broke his pretty harmony and he began to ring off key

Now they call him Ding-A-Ling because he has a funny ring

And doesn't hit his note too well Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

The other bells met secretly and he heard one say in a real low key

He's sure to ruin our Christmas sound and we don't want him hangin' around

He overheard the secret vote and walked away with a lump in his note

The saddest bell you've ever seen the Christmas bell called Ding-A-Ling

They all call him Ding-A-Ling because he has a funny ring

And doesn't hit his note too well Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

The snow was falling in the square when the children found him there

And placed him on the Christmas tree for everyone in town to see

As Christmas Eve came to the town a blinding snow was coming down

And Ding-A-Ling heard someone say ol' Santa's sure to lose his way

The thought occured to Ding-A-Ling to ring as loud as he could ring

And when ol' Santa heard the sound it guided him into the town

Now the children shout and sing and everyone loves Ding-A-Ling

So everything has turned out well for Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell
