My Ding-A-Ling - Live At Lanchester Arts Festival/1972
We got to do our Alma Mater
We must do our Alma Mater
When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
Beautiful beautiful, beautiful mmm
And then momma took me to grammar school
But I stopped off in the best of youth
Everytime that bell would ring
Catched me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
Oh that is beautiful
You know what I heard? I heard, I hear two girls over here singin' in harmony
That's alright honey
This a free country
Live like you wanna live baby yeah
Ain't nobody goin' knock you darling hmm-mm
Yeah freedom, yes sir
There's one guy right over here singin' My Two
That's alright brother, yes sir you gotta write baby
Ain't nobody goin' bother you
I tell you
Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring
But held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
Mmm, you know that future polarmen out there singin'
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)
Mmm
Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing
With both hands holdin' my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
That's so beautiful
Well I think it's a beautiful little song, really I do
And guess what everybody still not singin'
There's a few right down front here that's not singing'
We're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not sing
Yes sir, mmm
This here song, it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
Your own ding-a-ling, your own ding-a-ling
We saw you playin' with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, everybody sing
