Sesame Street - Listen To The Bells Lyrics

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 wouldnt 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 hadnt rang, what were we to do?
Wed 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 hadnt rang then how sad for all
Cause Grandmad 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

Theres 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
