Lyrics
Life is dull, it's nothing but one big lull
Then presto, you do a skull
And find that you're reeling
She sighs and you're feeling
Like a toy on a string
And your heart goes ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
How could that funny face
That seemed to be commonplace
Project you right into space
Without any warning
Don't know if it's morning
Nighttime, winter or spring
What's the difference? Ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
She takes your hand, this captivating creature
And like it's planned
You're in the phone book
Looking for the nearest preacher
Life is swell, you're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
And the bell goes ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
She grabs your hand, this captivating creature
And like it's planned
You're in the phone book
Hunting for the nearest preacher
Life is swell, you're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
And the bell goes ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding, ring-a-ding-ding
Ring-a-ding-ding
