"The Chimes"
Ding, ding, ding!
From the high tow'r
Hear the bells chime,
Telling the hour,
Fast flies the time.
Ding, ding, ding, ding!
One quarter sped
Half the hour past;
Three quarters fled;
Now rings the last.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Hear the bells chime
From the high tow'r!
Fast flies the time.
Hark the new hour!
Ding
, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
