  • The bells are ringing for me and my gal.
    The birds are singing for me and my gal.
    Ev'rybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going.
    And for weeks they've been sewing every Suzie and Sal.
    They're congregating for me and my gal.
    The parson's waiting for me and my gal.
    And sometime I'm gonna build a little home for two for three or four or more
    In love land, for me and my gal. Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
