MY DING-A-LING
Recorded by:  Chuck Berry 
Submitted by:  Thomas Rivers

(Verse 1)
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BITTY BOY,
MY GRANDMOTHER BOUGHT ME A CUTE LITTLE TOY
SILVER BELLS HANGING ON A STRING
SHE TOLD ME IT WAS MY DING-A-LING

(Chorus)
MY DING-A-LING, MY DING-A-LING
I WANT YOU TO PLAY WITH MY DING-A-LING

(Verse 2)
THEN MAMA TOOK ME TO GRAMMAR SCHOOL
BUT I STOPPED OFF IN THE VESTIBULE
EVERY TIME THAT BELL WOULD RING
THEY'D CATCH ME PLAYING WITH MY DING-A-LING

(Verse 3)
ONCE I WAS CLIMBING THE GARDEN WALL
I SLIPPED AND HAD A TERRIBLE FALL
I FELL SO HARD I HEARD BELLS RING
BUT I HELD ON TO MY DING-A-LING

(Verse 4)
THIS HERE SONG IS A LITTLE ABSURD
THE CUTEST LITTLE SONG YOU'VE EVER HEARD
THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL NOT SING
YOU MUST BE PLAYING WITH YOUR OWN DING-A-LING
