Ring Them Bells - Liza Minnelli[00:00:00]

Gather around I've got a story to tell[00:00:07]

About a Manhattan lady that I know very well[00:00:10]

She lives at five Riverside her name is Shirley Devore[00:00:15]

And she traveled 'round the world to meet the guy next door[00:00:20]

Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E[00:00:24]

'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as can be[00:00:28]

They said we hate to complain dear and we don't like to grouse[00:00:33]

But your nearly 32 you should get out of the house[00:00:37]

You gotta ring them bells you gotta ring them bells[00:00:44]

You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells[00:00:49]

It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:00:54]

You gotta ring them bells[00:00:58]

Well Shirley was 31 which she was loathe to admit[00:01:04]

And she had never been loved which didn't thrill her a bit[00:01:08]

And so she sat and she thought she thought for hours on end[00:01:12]

And said I'll go to Chase Manhattan where I got me a friend[00:01:16]

And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA[00:01:20]

And told her mother and dad that she was up and away[00:01:24]

I'm gonna travel the continent a month maybe two[00:01:28]

And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do[00:01:32]

You gotta ring them bells you gotta ring them bells[00:01:39]

You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells[00:01:43]

It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:01:48]

You gotta ring them bells[00:01:52]

She met a Londoner first but they did not hit it off[00:02:02]

'Cause every time she approached he got a bronchial cough[00:02:05]

And so she went to Madrid and met a handsome Senior[00:02:09]

But he liked to throw the bull and he was no matador[00:02:13]

She also bombed out in Brussells in Mallorca and Rome[00:02:17]

Til' someone said "Try Dubrovnik dear before you go home"[00:02:21]

'Cause it's the kind of a town where you'll be likely to fall[00:02:25]

And all the toni cognoscenti find the Balkans a ball[00:02:29]

You gotta ring them bells you gotta ring them bells[00:02:35]

You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells[00:02:40]

It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:02:44]

You gotta ring them bells[00:02:48]

And so she went to Dubruvnik and the very first day[00:02:58]

She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away[00:03:02]

Yes it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene[00:03:05]

She said "My name is Shirl Devore" he said "I'm Norm Saperstein"[00:03:09]

She said "Are you from New York" he said "That can't be denied[00:03:13]

I've got a swell junior three at number five Riverside"[00:03:17]

"Five Five Riverside Drive in New York that's where you live "[00:03:22]

"That's that's where I live Five Are you sure "[00:03:29]

As if that wasn't enough for Shirley thought she'd gone deaf[00:03:35]

When he told her his apartment there was 29 F[00:03:38]

Yes she was 'E' he was 'F' and they had not even met[00:03:51]

Until she traveled the world to Yugoslavia yet[00:03:54]

He'd always been right next door and she would never have known[00:03:58]

If she hadn't tried Dubrovnik she might still be alone[00:04:01]

Well there's a moral to learn from little Shirley Devore[00:04:10]

Who had to borrow a thou' to find a lover next door[00:04:19]

You girls who live in apartments don't just stare at the wall[00:04:23]

Open up the door and hurry out in the hall[00:04:28]

And oh ring them bells come on come on ring them bells[00:04:34]

Make 'em sing you'd better ring the bells[00:04:45]

It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:04:49]

You gotta swing them ring them swing them ring them bells[00:04:52]
