  • I'm glad you're home
    Now did you really miss me?
    I guess you did by the look in your eye
    (Look in your eye, look in your eye)
    Well lay back and relax
    While I put away the dishes (put away the dishes)
    Then you and me can rock a bell

    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell

    The night is young
    And full of possibilities
    Well, come on and let yourself be free, yeah
    My love for you (love for you, love for you)
    So long I've been savin'
    Tonight was made for me and you

    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring)

    You can ring my bell
    You can ring my bell
    (Ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it)
    You can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
    (Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, ow)

    You can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
    (Ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it)
    You can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
    (Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, ow)

    Bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell
    (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
    You can ring my bell, ring my bell Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • George Pope from Vancouver BcI'm curious how they made R2D2's little beeps -- manually operated slide whistle, or electronic synth of some kind?
  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenIf you listen to this with headphones, you can hear dropouts in the left channel that occur at 1:37 and 2:18. I always wondered what happened and how they got overlooked (or ignored).
