One evening harmonising love songs
the street gang taken by surprise
when in stepped Johnny Clare,
so gay and debonaire,
and then commenced to croon,
this most romantic tune.

Adeline, you've heard 'em sing
about sweet Adeline
well let me tell you she's a pal of mine,
she's divine,
that just why I'm going back
to see my little Adeline
I'll write a letter and I'll add a line
to tell her that I'm goin' to make her mine.
The bells will chime
for me and my sweet Adeline.

Adeline, you've heard 'em sing
about sweet Adeline
well let me tell you she's a pal of mine,
she's divine,
that just why I'm going back
to see my little Adeline
I'll write a letter and I'll add a line
to tell her that I'm goin' to make her mine.
The bells will chime
for me and my sweet Adeline.

One Sunday morning there was Johnny
with Adeline, who looked so sweet
as they strolled down the aisle,
they wore a happy smile,
you should have heard the gang,
oh how they cheered and sang.

Adeline, you've heard 'em sing
about sweet Adeline
well let me tell you she's a pal of mine,
she's divine,
that just why I'm going back
to see my little Adeline
I'll write a letter and I'll add a line
to tell her that I'm goin' to make her mine.
The bells will chime
for me and my sweet Adeline.

Adeline, you've heard 'em sing
about sweet Adeline
well let me tell you she's a pal of mine,
she's divine,
that just why I'm going back
to see my little Adeline
I'll write a letter and I'll add a line
to tell her that I'm goin' to make her mine.
The bells will chime
for me and my sweet Adeline.
