The Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen and his orchestra

Decca 27310

Music by Peter Hart

Lyrics by Johnny Brandon

Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling goes the telephone
Ting-a-lingle-ingle-ingle goes my heart
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling goes the telephone
And I know that the fireworks will start
Could be the butcher or the baker or the man with some fish on his tray
Could be the grocer or the candle-stickle-maker or the boy across the way to say
Come on out, come on out on the telephone
Come on out and have a little fun tonight
Come on out, help us out and I'm all alone
And there's nobody else here in sight
I know it could be--I'm sure it shoud be
I'm so frightened 'cause it mightn't be, but then
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling goes the telephone--ting-a-lingle goes my heart again
