REPEAT LAST 4 LINES OF CHORUS 

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 everyone 
So in the marketplace where people buy and sell 
He's sure to arrest anyone 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 soloed 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 

CHORUS 

CHORUS: 
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 sweet in honeymoon hotel 
But what good is that without a wedding bell 

CHORUS
