Songtext Listen to the bells Sesame Street

Listen to the bells

While lying in my bed, I heard the alarm bell ring
The bell woke me up quick as anything
I sure am glad the bell rang that way
Cause otherwise I might have stayed asleep all day
Oh the bells, listen to the bells
Ding a ling, hear them ring
Everybody listen to the bells
Eating breakfast with my brother, heard the telephone
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
It went ring ring a ding, it wouldn't leave us alone
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
I picked up the receiver, and I said hello
It was Grandma want to take me to the picture show
Oh the bells, listen to the bells
Ding a ling, hear them ring
Everybody listen to the bells
I spent the day in school until the final bell
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
It said the school day was over and the week as well
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
If the bell hadn't rang, what were we to do?
We'd stay in school all day and all the weekend too.
Oh the bells, listen to the bells
Ding a ling, hear them ring
Everybody listen to the bells
Eating dinner when the doorbell rang, who could it be?
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
It was Grandma and she brought a present just for me
(ding a ding ding dong ding a ding a ding dong)
If the doorbell hadn't rang then how sad for all
Cause Grandma'd still be standing out there in the hall
Oh the bells, listen to the bells
Ding a ling, hear them ring
Everybody listen to the bells
There's the alarm bell bell and the telephone bell
and school bell bell and the doorbell as well
Oh the bells, listen to the bells
Ding a ling, hear them ring
Everybody listen to the bells
