Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
I love the song of the bells
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
I love the story it tells
When bell are ringing I never feel blue
I’m always singing a song that is new
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
I love the song of the bells

Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
Oh for a nice cup of tea
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
One cup for you, one for me
I shall hang narrow up into the air
You’ll have some sugar there’s plenty to spare
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
Come to a jazz tea with me
