                                                   Bells Shall Ring




                                     Like a bee sting


                                     The Princess has stung the King

                                     His Majesty's head has gone zing, zing, zing

                                     Song birds, winging about, have begun to sing

                                     Love, as flowers, blossoms this spring





                                     The King has promised her:

                                            A diamond ring

                                            A new castle wing

                                            And a garden with a swing




                                     In return, the King has asked but for one thing:

                                     "To the altar, love  is all you need bring.


                                     But, my love, your love is nearly everything."
