Burt Bacharach
The Bell That Couldn’t Jingle
[Intro]
Then Santa said, "Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you
And on Christmas Eve, you'll jingle, just like you were brand new"
[Verse 1]
A Christmas bell was crying, then Santa heard it say
"I just can't seem to jingle and I can't go on the sleigh"
Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried
The bell that couldn't jingle, it had nothing there inside
Then Santa said, "Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you
And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle, just like you were brand new"
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop, so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle, it went jingling all the way
[Refrain]
The bell that couldn't jingle, it went jingling all the way
[Verse 2]
Then Santa said, "Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you
And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle, just like you were brand new"
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop, so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle, it went jingling all the way
[Refrain]
The bell that couldn't jingle, it went jingling all the way
[Outro]
It went jingling all the way
It went jingling all the way
It went jingling all the way
(Terrific, terrific)
