LYRICS
[Verse 1]
In the land of the harem and the land of the fairs
The land that lies down around Suez
There's a dancin' girl from Pensylvania
Now she's the rage of the Mediteranian
She's the dancin' delight of the Dardinelles
Instead of seven veils, she wears seven bells

[Verse 2]
Two on her ears and one on her nose
Two on each of her great big toes
Now there are two more bells
But don't dare ask where
Her mother knew her daughter
So she hung them there

[Verse 3]
She shimmies, she wiggles
Just like a snake
The bells serenade
Every move she makes
Well it's nothin' but trouble for all of her beaus
She would have music wherever she goes
And if she doesn't exercise self-control
Everyone knows for whom the bells toll

[Spoken]
Tinkle, tinkle, little bell
Of course, the little bell looked at the big bell and said
"Your dong is bigger than my dong...
But I get more dingin'...
Especially on the weekends."

[Verse 4]
Along come a clever fella, very bright
Decided he'd romance her, one certain night
He put a hat on her head and shoes on her toes
Went so far as to hold her nose
But he gave up too, so the story tells
He just couldn't silence the other two bells

[Verse 5]
Now a "Good Humor" man drove up outside her door
He parked his little white van
Soon the serenade of the bells began
While he wooed her and wooed her and nobody knew
Because the "Good Humor" man has some bells too

[Bridge]
Well, they can't prove a thing
This guy is too slick
They all think he's selling
"Good Humor" on a stick

[Verse 6]
While he's romancing and ringing her bells
He would yell "Ice Cream, Ice Cream"
And no one could tell
"His" bell from "her" bell
And that is the scheme

[Outro]
Still people wonder
And I would wonder too
Could he be sellin' ice cream
the whole night through

[Fade out]
