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 common place Project you right in to space without any warning? Don't know if it's morning, night time, 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
