when i was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
silver bells hangin’ on a string
she told me it was my ding a ling
my ding a ling my ding a ling
i want to play with my ding a ling
my ding a ling my ding a ling
i want to play with my ding a ling
and then mother took me to grammar school
but i stopped all in the vestibule
every time that bell would ring
catched me playin’ with my ding a ling
once i was climbing the garden wall
i slipped and had a terrible fall
i fell so hard i heard bells ring
but held on to my ding a ling
once i was swimming cross turtle creek
many snappers all around my feet
sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holdin’ my ding a ling
this here song it ain’t so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
those of you who will not sing
you must be playin’ with your own ding a ling
my ding a ling your ding a ling your ding a ling
we saw you playin’ with your ding a ling
my ding a ling everybody sing
i want to play with my ding a ling
