IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Bells

[Verse:]

Very many years ago

Mister Edgar Allan Poe

Wrote a little poem I know

Called "Bells"

When I read those clever rhymes

Of the many different chimes

I could almost hear them ringing

Ding dong dinging



[Refrain:]

Phone bells, sleigh bells

And very merry Christmas day bells



The brazen fire bells that ring with fear

And happy New Year bells that ring out once a year



Cow bells, door bells

For all I know there may be more bells



But the poet tells

That wedding bells

Have the sweetest little ding dong of all
