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
