[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
We got sarsaparilla soda on the ice
We got shoes and rice and free advice
We got a bridal suite in Honeymoon Hotel
But what good is that without a wedding bell?

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
All day the people look at the steeple
But they don't see the bell

[Verse 2]
We got very fine detective, Shiller Gun
And he's sure to question every man
So, in the marketplace where people buy and sell
He's sure to arrest the one who sells the bell

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
(We got solos by the island singin' 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married
[Chorus]
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
