Chorus:
somebody bad stole de wedding bell
somebody bad stole de wedding bell
somebody bad stole de wedding bell
now, nobody can get married
Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell
who's got the ding dong who's got the bell
somebody know but nobody tell
cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
we got sarsaparilla soda on the ice
we got shoes and rice and free advice
we got a bridal sweet in honeymoon hotel
but what good is that without a wedding bell
Chorus
Repeat last 4 lines of chorus
All day the people look at the steeple
but they don't see the bell
We got very fine detective, shiller gun
and he's sure to question everyone
so in the marketplace where people buy and sell
he's sure to arrest anyone who sells the bell
Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell
who's got the ding dong who's got the bell
somebody know but nobody tell
cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
We got soloed by the island singing band
we got lots of sun and lots of sand
we got lover's moon we got a wishing well
and oh how i wish we had a wedding bell
Chorus
