Intro | D D D G |G D Beatin' on the ding dong, All day long G I go around, just singin' this song C I got a gal, maybe two or three D G Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother meVerse 1:
D Most folks worry, when they have no dough G It can't feel good, 'cause of feelin' low C I don't worry, if I'm broke no more D G I ain't rich, so I must be poorBreak | G D7 | D7 G | G C | D G/D |Verse 2:
D7 Beatin' on the ding dong, don't mean a thing G Just some words, that you can sing C Makes no difference, if they're right or wrong D G Beating on the ding dong, all day longVerse 3:
G D D7 Some are happy, when they have big cars G They ride around and they puff cigars C Give me a rattle trap, Model T D G I'm as happy, as a chickadeeVerse 4:
D A house and a flea and a bunch of mice G Out in the barnyard, shootin' dice C The horse rolled forward and stepped on a flea D G The flea yells fellas, there's a horse on meBreak | G D7 | D7 G | G C | D G/D |D7 Beating on the ding dong, all day long G I go around, just singin' this song C I got a gal, maybe two or three D G Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother meVerse 5:
G D7 I stood with a gal, on the porch last night G A huggin' and a kissin' till it got daylight C Her pa said get him and I had to dance D G A bull dog had me by the seat of the pantsVerse 6:
