Who  (D major) used to shine and chime and  (G major) ring
A 
D 
And why  (A major) they called him Ding -A  (D major) -Ling
One of the famous jingle bells
A 
Is  (A major) what he was until he fell
D 
and  (D major) broke his pretty harmony.
G 
A 
D 
 (G major) And  (A major) he began to ring off -key.  (D major) 
G 
Now  (G major) they call him Ding -a -ling

G 
and  (G major) doesn't hit his note too well.

Ding  (A major) -a -ling the Twistmas bell!  (D major) 
The other bells met secretly,
A 
and he  (A major) heard one say in a real low key,
D 
G 
He's  (D major) sure to ruin our Christmas sound.  (G major) 
A 
D 
And  (A major) we don't want him hangin' brown.  (D major) 
He overheard their secret vote,
A 
and walked  (A major) away with a lump in his note,
D 
G 
The  (D major) saddest bell I've ever seen.  (G major) 
A 
D 
The  (A major) twizzlers bell called ding -a -ling.  (D major) 
G 
They  (G major) all call him ding -a -ling,
D 
Cause  (D major) he has a funny ring,
G 
An (G major) d doesn't hit his note too well.
A 
D 
Ding  (A major) -a -ling the twizzlers bell.  (D major)

No Santa's  (B flat major) sure to lose his way  (E flat major) 
The thought occurred to Ding -a -ling
Bb 
To  (B flat major) ring as loud as he could ring

Ab 
And  (E flat major) when old Santa heard the sound  (A flat major) 
Bb 
Eb

Boy, Conway, I smell cookies baking
And it's making me hungry!
Well, that's cause we're right
here in front of Santa's bakery.
I'm getting hungry,
too. Let's go in and have some.
Okay, Conway!
Mmm!
A 
These  (A major) cookies are good!
Yeah, they sure are.
And it seems like they're
always better at Christmas.
But everything seems better
at Christmas.
Why's that, Conway?
Well, it's caused Christmas
as a magical time.
And not just for little kids either,
but for kids of all ages.
In fact, at Christmastime, we all turn into kids.
