Johnny Mathis - Ring The Bell lyrics

Ring the bell, it's a glorious sound, people gather around And start to cheer and the cheer start to swell If you like to taking a bow then you got to know how To ring the bell Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes They'll materialize if you get up and get out of your shell You can't depend upon bait for your height and your weight To ring the bell There's a grindstone for your nose There's a treetop for your toes Don't stay home and decompose Just get out and get going where a go getter goes Who can tell if you missed a few meals? If you're down at the heels put on a well to do smile And you'll do well Don't hide your head in a truck just come up, all up And ring the bell And it's like I always say Don't do anything halfway There's a time for work and play Don't put off tomorrow what you could do today Ring the bell Why it's simply absurd how much a wide awake crook can compel When it's the time to get up, that's the time to get up When it's the time to get up, that's the time to get up And ring, and ring, and ring the bell
