[Eb] When I was [Ab] a little bitty boy, [Bb] my grandmother bought [Eb] me a cute little toy.
Silver [Ab] bells hanging on a string.
[Gm] She told me it [Eb] was my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
Ding-a-ling, [Ab] ding-a-ling, [Bb] ding [Eb] -a-ling, ding-a-ling, [Ab] ding-a-ling, [Bb] ding [Cm] -a-ling.
Beautiful, [N] beautiful.
[Eb] And then Mama took [Ab] me to grammar school, [Eb] but I stopped off in the Vesta View.
Every time [Ab] that bell would ring, [Bb] catch me playing [Eb] with my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
[Ab] Ding-a-ling, [Bb] [Eb] ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, [Ab] ding-a-ling, [Bb] [Eb] [A] ding-a-ling.
[N] Oh, that is beautiful.
You know what I heard?
I heard two girls over here singing in harmony.
That's alright, honey.
This is a free country.
Live like you [Eb] want to live, baby.
Yeah.
Ain't nobody gonna knock you down.
Mm-mm.
Yeah, freedom.
Yes, sir.
There's one guy right over here singing Maya, too.
That's [Abm] alright, brother.
[Eb] Yes, sir.
You got it right, baby.
Ain't nobody gonna bother you.
Yeah.
Once I was [Ab] climbing the garden wall.
[Bb] I slipped and had [Eb] a terrible fall.
I fell so hard [Ab] I heard bells ring, [Bb] but held on [Eb] ding-a-ling-a-ling.
[Ab] Ding-a-ling, [Bb] [Eb] ding-a-ling, [Ab] ding-a-ling, [Bb] [Eb] ding-a-ling.
Mm, [Db] you know that's future [Eb] parliament out there singing?
Oh, yeah.
Mm, once I was swimming [F] across Turtle Creek.
Man, them snappers [Eb] all around my feet.
Sure was [Ab] hard swimming across that thing [N] with both hands holding [Eb] my feet.
Ding-a-ling, ding [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] -a-ling, ding-a-ling, [Ab] ding
[Bb] [Eb] -a-ling.
That's so beautiful.
I think it's a beautiful little song.
Really, I do.
And guess what?
Everybody's still not singing.
There's a few right down front here that's not singing.
We're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not sing.
Yes, sir.
