On Father's Day we sing-a-ling-a-ling,
With all our hearts for you;
We hope there'll be some thing-a-ling-a-ling
That we can do for you.

In autumn, winter, spring-a-ling-a-ling,
All the whole year through;

And sing-a-ling-a-ling,
And ching-a-ling-a-ling for you.

Sacred Lyrics: |

|
|
|
|
The bells below go ting-a-ling-a-ling
For you, but not for me.
The blessed angels sing-a-ling-a-ling Through all eternity.
O death, there is no sting-a-ling-a-ling
O grave, thy victory?
No ting-a-ling-a-ling,
No sting-a-ling-a-ling,
But sing-a-ling-a-ling for me.
