Lynn Anderson - Ding A Ling The Christmas Bell lyrics

Gather 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 is 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
