I’m Gonna Ring the Bell Tonight Songtext
von Doris Day with Paul Weston & His Orchestra and The Norman Luboff Choir

For three nights straight
I′ve been forced to act sedate
May I say, I didn't like the road
Thanks to you, my friends
My pretends now ends
And you′ll forgive me
If I kind-a lose control

I don't care what we did last night
And the night before that
And the night before that too
I'm gonna ring the bell tonight
I′m gonna ring the bell tonight
That′s what I'm gonna do

I′m a gloat and I'm feelin′ so
Happy New Year's Eve and
I′m the captain and the crew
We're gonna pop the cork tonight
We're gonna pop the cork tonight
That′s what we′re gonna do


And should the band take
Five minutes Intermission
You'll be wishin′
The intermission's through

Here′s to you and to me
And here's to a life that′s merry
I just gotta whoop-dee-do
We're gonna rock the boat tonight
We're gonna rock the boat tonight
That′s what we′re gonna do

And there's a fiddler fiddlin′ fancy
It makes me feel so doggone antsy
But it's the feel of bubbly brew

A saxophone is much to weally
Just get yourself a Ukulele
And you can wiki-a-laki-a loo

Here′s to you here's to me
And here′s to a life that's merry
If they want to make a stew
We're gonna rock the boat tonight
We′re gonna rock the boat tonight
That′s what we're gonna do


I′m gonna ring the bell
I'm gonna pop the cork
And if the boat sinks
It serves them right

I′m not gonna cross {rock}
I'm gonna rock the boat tonight
