Verse:
F
Gather around, I've got a story to tell
               C7
About a Manhattan lady that I know very well

She lives at five Riverside, her name is Shirley Devore
    Dm7         G7        C7
And she travelled 'round the world to meet the guy next door

F
Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E
                     C7
'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as can be

They said we hate to complain dear and we don't like to grouse
     Dm7  G7       C7
But your nearly 32, you should get out of the house

Chorus:
     F        Fmaj7   F6       F
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
           Fmaj7     Gm7      C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells

It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling

Well Shirley was 31, which she was loathe to admit
              Fmaj7      Gm7     C7
And she had never been loved, which didn't thrill her a bit

And so she sat and she thought, she thought for hours on end
       Dm7       G7       C7
And said I'll go to Chase, Manhattan, where I got me a friend

      F
And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA
F             Fmaj7     Gm7    C7
And told her mother and dad that she was up and away

I'm gonna travel the continent, a month, maybe two
  Dm7      G7        C7
And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do

Chorus:
     F        Fmaj7   F6       F
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
           Fmaj7     Gm7      C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
                  A7   Dm
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling

You gotta ring them bells

She met a Londoner first, but they did not hit it off
                Fmaj7   Gm7    C7
'Cause every time she approached he got a bronchial cough

And so she went to Madrid and met a handsome Señor
    Dm7        G7       C7
But he liked to throw the bull and he was no matador

     F          Fmaj7  F6       F
She also bombed out in Brussells, in Mallorca and Rome
              Fmaj7       Gm7    C7
Til' someone said: "Try Dubrovnik, dear before you go home

'Cause it's the kind of a town where you'll be likely to fall
      Dm7    G7       C7
And all the Toni Cognoscenti find the Balkans a ball"

Chorus:
     F        Fmaj7   F6       F
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
           Fmaj7     Gm7      C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
                  A7   Dm
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling

Verse:
      F
And so she went to Dubruvnik and the very first day
                    C7
She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away

Yes, it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene
       Dm      G7
She said, "My name is Shirl Devore\
