Ring Them Bells - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
Gather around I've got a story to tell[00:00:01]
About a Manhattan lady that I know very well[00:00:04]
She lives at five Riverside her name is Shirley Devore[00:00:08]
And she traveled 'round the world to meet the guy next door[00:00:12]
Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E[00:00:16]
'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as could be[00:00:20]
They said we hate to complain dear[00:00:24]
And we don't like to grouse[00:00:26]
But you're nearly 32 you should get out of the house[00:00:28]
You gotta ring them bells you gotta ring them bells[00:00:37]
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells[00:00:42]
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:00:46]
You gotta ring them bells[00:00:50]
And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA[00:00:54]
And told her mother and dad that she was up and away[00:00:58]
I'm gonna travel the continent a month maybe two[00:01:02]
And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do[00:01:07]
And so she went to Dubrovnik and the very first day[00:01:10]
She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away[00:01:14]
Yes it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene[00:01:18]
She said My name is Shirl Devore he said I'm Norm Saperstein[00:01:22]
She said Are you from New York[00:01:26]
He said Well that can't be denied[00:01:28]
I've got a swell junior three at number five Riverside[00:01:30]
As if that wasn't enough for Shirley thought she'd gone deaf[00:01:34]
When he told her his apartment there was 29 F[00:01:39]
Are you sure[00:01:45]
Yes she was E he was F and they had not even met[00:01:46]
Until she traveled the world to Yugoslavia yet[00:01:49]
He'd always been right next door and she would never have known[00:01:53]
If she hadn't tried Dubrovnik she might still be alone[00:01:58]
Well there's a moral to learn from little Shirley Devore[00:02:04]
Who had to borrow a thou' to mind a lover next door[00:02:12]
You girls who live in apartments don't just stare at the wall[00:02:16]
Open up the door and hurry out in the hall[00:02:21]
And oh ring them bells go on ring them bells[00:02:27]
Make 'em sing and really ring the bells[00:02:34]
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting a ling[00:02:38]
You gotta swing them ring them bells[00:02:42]
