I had my little bell
with a purple ribbon
And since it glittered
I gave it to my beloved darling
So she should could play with it
some time in the early morning
Last night by the window
talking to Eleanor
She asked me to sing to her
the little bell in a minor key
and that I did not delay
she asked me as a favour
Oh, how it buzzes and rings
It rings and resonates
My little bell in the sand
