Bells 1920 The Ziegfeld Follies of 1920

Very many years ago,
Mister Edgar Allen Poe
wrote a little poem I know,
called "Bells"
When I read those clever rhymes
of the many diff'rent chimes,
I could almost hear them ringing
Ding Dong Ding Dong.

'Phone bells, sleigh bells,
and very merry Christmas Day bells.
The brazen firebells 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.

'Phone bells, sleigh bells,
and very merry Chistmas Day bells.
The brazen firebells 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.
