Ring Ting-A-Ling 1912

byJames Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Aug 2005

Oh you little telephone,
you're a perfect dear,
I would give the world to know,
half the things you hear,
when the cook needs something quick
on you we depend.
And but for you
what would we do?
You're more than just a friend.
We love your welcome call,
you've made the world seem small.

Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
and ring me up tonight,
Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
You've got my number right,
Oh, hello
Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
and send a kiss or two,
if you don't Ringaling
tingalingalingaling,
then I'll ringalingaling for you.

Jones went to the Waldorf once,
with a friend to dine,
not a man, a lady friend,
that knew a friend of mine,
rang his little wifey up,
can't get home, my dear,
'till very late, so don't you wait,
I've pressing bus'ness here.
But darling little frau,
said, dear, where are you now?

Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
I'm in my office, dear,
Ringtingaling
tingaling I hear music, love,
it's ringing in my ear,
and singing
Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
I hear corks popping too,
if you don't Ringaling
tingalingalingaling,
then I'll ringalingaling for you.

It's a very handy thing,
when you want to shop,
once you get the habit good,
my, it's hard to stop,
though it really doesn't quite
always tell the truth.
Uneasy lies the head that lies,
inside the little booth.
Each little telephone,
has meanings of its own.

Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
Is that you, Louie Brown?
Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
My wife's gone out of town,
Large evening,
Ringtingaling
tingaling on the telephone,
Come join our midnight crew,
if you don't Ringaling
tingalingalingaling,
then I'll ringalingaling for you.
