Beatin' on the ding dong all day long I go around just singing 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 Which can't feel good 'cause of feeling 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. --- Instrumental --- Some are happy when they have big cars To ride around and they puff cigars Give me a rattle trap model T I'm as happy as a kid could be. A house and a flea and a bunch of mice Out in the barnyard shootin' dice The house grows cold and steps on a flea The flea yells fellas there's a house on me. Beating on the ding dong all day long I go around just singing this song I got a gal, maybe two or three Beatin' on the ding dong don't bother me. --- Instrumental --- I stood with my gal on the porch last night A huggin' and a kissin' till it got daylight Her pa said get him and I had to stand A bull dog had me by the seat of the pants. I don't have nothin' to bother me As happy as a possum in a lemon tree If I had a wife that 'd work at all I wouldn't have work this coming fall. Beating on the ding dong all day long I go around just singing this song I got a gal, maybe two or three Beatin' on the ding dong don't bother me. Beatin' on the ding dong don't bother me...
