Start Jamming...
[Gbm] We got to do our alma mater, we must do our alma mater.
When I [Ab] was a little bitty boy, [G] my grandmother [Eb] bought me a cute little toy.
Silver [Ab] bells hanging on a string, [D] she told me it [Eb] was my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
[Ab] Ding-a [Bb]-ling!
[Eb] Ding-a-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] Ding-a-ling!
[B]
[Bb] [Eb] Ding-a-ling!
[Cm] Beautiful, beautiful, [Bb]
beautiful.
[Ab] And then mama took me to grammar school, [F] but I stopped [Eb] off in the Vesta View.
Every [Ab] time that bell would ring, [Bb] catch me playing [Eb] with my ding-a-ling-a-ling-o.
Ding-a [Ab]-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
[Bb]
[Eb] Ding-a-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] [Bb]
[G] Ding-a-ling!
Oh, that is beautiful.
[Bb]
You know what I heard?
I heard two girls over here singing [E] in harmony.
That's alright, honey.
This is a free country.
Live like you [Eb] want to live, baby.
Yeah.
Ain't nobody gonna knock it, darling.
Mm-mm.
Yeah, freedom.
Yes, sir.
There's one guy right over here singing Maya, too.
That's alright, brother.
Yes, sir.
You got it right, baby.
Ain't nobody gonna bother you.
Once I was [F]
climbing the garden wall.
I slipped and had [Eb] a terrible fall.
I fell so hard [Ab] I heard bells ring, [Bb] but held on to [Eb] my ding-a-ling-o.
Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] Ding-a-ling!
[Bb]
[Eb] Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] [G] Ding-a-ling!
You know [A] that's future [Eb] parliament out there singing?
Oh, yeah!
[Db] Once I was swimming across Turtle [G] Creek.
Man, them snappers [Eb] all around my feet.
Sure was [Ab] hard swimming across that thing [Bb] with both hands holding [Eb] my feet.
Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] Ding-a-ling!
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Ab] Ding-a-ling!
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] That's so beautiful.
I think it's a beautiful little [Eb] song.
Really, I do.
And guess what?
Everybody's still not singing.
There's a few right down front here that's not singing.
We're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not sing.
Yes, sir.
Mm, this here song, [Ab] it ain't so sad.
[Bb] The cutest little song [Eb] you ever had.
Those of you [Ab] who will not [G] sing, you must be [Eb] playing with your own ding-a-ling-o.
Ding-a [Ab]-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
[Bb]
[Eb] Ding-a-ling!
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] Oh, your ding-a-ling, [Abm] your ding [F]-a-ling, we saw you playing [Eb] with your own ding-a-ling [Ab]-o.
Everybody sing, [F] I want to play [Eb] with my ding-a-ling-o.
Everybody, my, [Ab] oh my, [Bb] slow down, I want to play, everybody, with my ding-a [Eb]-ling-o.
