Life is dull, it's nothing but one big lull   Then presto you do a skull   And find that you're reeling   She sighs and you're feeling like a toy on a string   And your heart goes   Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding      How could that funny face that seemed to be common place   Project you right in to space without any warning?   Don't know if it's morning, night time, winter or spring   What's the difference?   Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding      She takes your hand, this captivating creature   And like it's planned, you're in the phone book   Looking for the nearest preacher      Life is swell, you're off to that small hotel   And somewhere a village bell   Will sound in the steeple, announcing to people   Love's the loveliest thing and the bell goes   Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding
