When I was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hangin' on a string
she told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
[Chorus:]
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to play with my ding-a-ling
And then mother took me to Grammar School
But I stopped all in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
catched me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling
[Chorus]
Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
but held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling
[Chorus]
Once I was swimming cross Turtle Creek
many o'em snappers all around my feet
Shure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holdin' my ding-a-ling-a-ling
[Chorus]
This here song it ain't so sad
the cutest little song you all ever had
those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding
[Chorus]
My ding-a-ling, your ding-a-ling,
We saw you playin' with your ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling everybody sing
I want to play with my ding-a-ling
