[Eb] _ _ Here we go, once again.
Tell us now, you know, don't forget, get down in there.
[C] Wait, what?
Oh [Eb] _ _ my_

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
Oh my_
Jingle [Ab] bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
Oh my_
[Bb] I want you to [Eb] play with_
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
That was fairly good, fairly good.
But you know what?
There wasn't but two girls out here and one little girl back here taking all them [N] ding-a-lings.
That's entirely too much.
_ _ _ _ _ To participate now.
Come on ladies now.
Get with the gentleman now and participate now.
Come on now, here, open your mouth now and get it.

Oh ho ho ho ho.

When I [Ab] was a wee little [Bb] boy, my grandmother bought [Eb] me a cute little toy.
Silver [Ab] bells hanging on a string, [Bb] she told me it was [Eb] my ding-a-ling-a-ling.

Yes sir, we got about 130 ladies singing now.
It really gets to you.
Wait till we get about the fifth verse, all the ladies_ _
_ _ Then mama took [Ab] me to Sunday school.
[Bb] They tried to teach [Ab] me the [Eb] golden rule.
But when the [Ab] choir would stand and [Bb] sing, I'd sit there and play [Eb] with my_
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.

[Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ Ding-a-ling.
_ Ding-a-ling.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Ding-a-ling.
_ _ _ _ Then mama took [Ab] me to grammar school.
[Bb] But I stopped off [Eb] in the Vesta Bull.
_ Every time [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] they'd catch me playing with [Eb] my_
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.

[Eb] _ _ _ _ You [Bb] know, _
[F] you know where the strongest mimes are?
Right around back here.
[Eb] _ And guess where the [E] strongest ding-a-lings are?
Right [Eb] back there.
_ I'll _ _ _ leave it to you.
_ You know, I hear_
It's a [N] beautiful thing too.
I hear two ladies out there singing in harmony.
That's alright though.
You know, this is a free [E] country.
Live like you [Eb] wanna live.
Free country.
[Bb] [Eb] Nobody's gonna bother you.
Really. _
Yes, I heard one of the cameramen singing my [Bb] too.
That's alright.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ Once _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I was swimming [Ab] across Turtle [Fm] Creek.
[Ab] Man, them snappers [Eb] all around [Dbm] my feet.

Fellas, now let's_
Come on, let's give the girls credit.
Don't they have a beautiful passage in the song?
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ remember [Ab] that _ _ [Bb] we [B] used to play house.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] She'd be the queen.
_ I'd be the [Bb] king.
And I'd let her play [Eb] with mine.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
Oh my_

_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] Ding-a-ling.
So _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
cute.
And do you [Bb] know everybody's not singing?
There's [B] some people right there in [Eb] the first row in the balcony.
[Bb] Not singing.
[Eb] You know what I'd really like?
I'd like for the spotlight to look around at the verse of the song and actually see who's not singing.
Maybe the house lights could show us.
Because we're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not [Bb] sing.
_ We're gonna see.
[Eb] This here song, [Ab] it ain't so sad.
[Bbm] The cutest little [Ebm] song y'all ever had. _
Those of [Ab] you who will not [Fm] sing, [Bb] you must be playing [Eb] with your own ding-a-ling. _
