Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
[Verse 2]
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
[Verse 3]
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say throw cares away
Christmas is here bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
[Verse 4]
Ding, dong, ding, dong, this is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
[Verse 5]
Ding
Ding, dong, ding
Ding, dong
[Verse 6]
Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling the tale
Gayly, they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
[Verse 7]
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
[Verse 8]
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say throw cares away
Christmas is here bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
[Verse 9]
Ding, dong, ding, dong, this is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
[Verse 10]
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
[Verse 11]
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
[Verse 12]
Christmas is here bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, this is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
[Verse 13]
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
