When I was a little bitty boy My grandmother bought me a cute little toy Silver bells hanging on a string She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Hmm, and then mama took me to grammar school But I stopped off in the vestibule Every time that bell would ring Catch me playing with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! Oh, that is beautiful You know what I heard, I heard I heard two girls over here singing in harmony, that's all right, honey This is a free country, live like you wanna live, baby! Yeah, ain't nobody gonna knock it, doll, mm-mm Yeah, freedom Yes sir, there's one guy right over here singin' "mine" too, that's all right, brother! Yes sir, you got a right, baby, ain't nobody gonna bother you, tell you Once I was climbing the garden wall I slipped and had a terrible fall I fell so hard I heard bells ring But held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling! Hmm, you know that's future parliament out there singin'? Oh yeah! (yeah!)
