Lyrics
Ring ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
Jingle the bells in a rag
Join in their song as they’re swinging along
Mixed in a musical drag
You’ll sigh again, just to hear that refrain
Wait, they’ll be playing it soon
Oh, what a treat! such a sweet melodious tune
Hear those raggy chimes
How their music climbs
Into your heart, until you start
Dancing, just to keep time
Hear those silver tones
Shake your lazy bones
Don’t hesitate, come syncopate it, honey
Ringing a ragtime rhyme
Chorus
Won’t you jingle those bells
Till that melody swells
Hear the story it tells
I love you, little honey
I’ve been waiting so long
Just to sing you love’s song
With a ding-a-ling-dong
So ring those ragtime chimes
