Christmas Carols – Christmas Bell (Ding A Ling) Lyrics

Gather round and I will tell
The story of the Christmas bell
Who use to shine and shine and ring
And why they 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 hanging around

He overheard their 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 was 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
Old Santa's sure to lose his way

The thought occurred to ding a ling
To ring as loud as He could ring
And when old Santa heard the sound
It guided him into the town

Now the children shout and sing
And everyone loves Ding a ling
So everything has turned out well
For Ding a ling the Christmas bell
