Beatin' on the ding dong, All day long
I go around, just singin' this song
I got a gal, maybe two or three
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
Most folks worry, when they have no dough
It can't feel good, 'cause of feelin' low
I don't worry, if I'm broke no more
I ain't rich, so I must be poor
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't mean a thing
Just some words, that you can sing
Makes no difference, if they're right or wrong
Beating on the ding dong, all day long
Break
Some are happy, when they have big cars
They ride around and they puff cigars
Give me a rattle trap, Model T
I'm as happy, as a chickadee
A house and a flea and a bunch of mice
Out in the barnyard, shootin' dice
The horse rolled forward and stepped on a flea
The flea yells fellas, there's a horse on me
Beating on the ding dong, all day long
I go around, just singin' this song
I got a gal, maybe two or three
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
Break
I stood with a gal, on the porch last night
A huggin' and a kissin' till it got daylight
Her pa said get him and I had to dance
A bull dog had me by the seat of the pants
I don't have nothin' to bother me
Happy as a possum in a salmon tree
If I had a wife, that'd work at all
I wouldn't have work, this comin' fall
Beating on the ding dong, all day long
I go around, just singin' this song
I got a gal, maybe two or three
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
Outro
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
