In the sleepy town of San Juanita There's a story that a padre tells Of a fair Senor and Senorita And the serenade of the bells Seems they asked the padre for permission To be married early in the spring But the padre gave just one condition That the mission bells had to ring Everyone knew the bells were broken And hadn't sounded in a long, long time But on the night before they married The bells (the bells) began (began) to chime (to chime) So the bells were broken, goes the story But if in your heart a true love dwells You can have your love and all it's glory And the serenade of the bells Every one knew the bells were broken And hadn't sounded in a long, long time But on the night before they married The bells (the bells) began (began) to chime (to chime) So the bells were broken, goes the story But if in your heart a true love dwells You can have your love and all it's glory And the serenade of the bells (serenade of the bells) Serenade of the bells (serenade of the bells) Serenade of the bells
