Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Now, nobody can get married Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Somebody know but nobody tell Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell We got sarsaparilla soda on the ice We got shoes and rice and free advice We got a bridal suite in Honeymoon Hotel But what good is that without a wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Now, nobody can get married Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Somebody know but nobody tell Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell All day the people look at the steeple But they don't see the bell We got very fine detective, Shiller Gun And he's sure to question every man So in the marketplace where people buy and sell He's sure to arrest the one who sells the bell Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Somebody know but nobody tell Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell We got solos by the island singing band We got lots of sun and lots of sand We got lover's moon we got a wishing well And oh how I wish we had a wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Somebody bad stole de wedding bell Now, nobody can get married Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Who's got the ding dong who's got the bell Somebody know but nobody tell Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
