I'd a dream last night in bed,
and it lingers in my head,
'Cause I dreamed
the war was over and done with.
All the world was bright and gay
we were turning night to day
and all the lights were on for us
to have fun with.
We were dancing in the street
to a transatlantic beat
and the good old bells of London Town
were ringing it, hot and sweet.

Dingdong, Dingdong!
That'll be our swing song,
Bow Bells swinging the Broadway Melody.
Swing high, swing low!
Hidehide HeighHo!
Bow Bells swinging the Broadway Melody.
Come on you people,
Gather round by that steeple.
Rock to that rhythm
'cos the Yankee Doodles
brought it with 'em,
Hey, hey!
I'll say
It'll be a great day
when we kill that fatted "spam"
Give three cheers for Uncle Sam
and the Bow Bells are swinging
The Broadway Melody.

Dingdong, Dingdong!
That'll be our swing song,
Bow Bells swinging the Broadway Melody.
Swing high, swing low!
Hidehide HeighHo!
Bow Bells swinging the Broadway Melody.
Come on you people,
Gather round by that steeple.
Rock to that rhythm
'cos the Yankee Doodles
brought it with 'em,
Hey, hey!
I'll say
It'll be a great day
when we kill that fatted "spam"
Give three cheers for Uncle Sam
and the Bow Bells are swinging
The Broadway Melody.
