I love to listen
To the bells a-ringing
Listen to the church bells chime
Love to hear the sound
Of sleigh bells a-tingaling
At Christmas time.
Listen to the bells
In the belfry peal
As time just ticks away
Hear them ring a ling
Ting ting-tingalingaling
It's almost Christmas day
Listen to the bells-as they ring
Listen to the sweet little Christmas songs that they sing
Listen to the stories-that they tell
Listen close 'cause this is
The sound of the Christmas bells
It's customary
When the season's very
Close to Christmas day
All the bells start ringing out
The season's greeting
Wishing you a happy holiday
At Christmas all the people
In the world start singing
Peace! Good will to men
Bells start a-ringing tingalinging
All over again.
Listen to the bells
As they ring
Listen to the sweet little Christmas songs that they sing
Listen to the story that they tell
Listen close 'cause this is
The story of the Christmas bells
