Lyrics for Baubles Bangles and Beads

Baubles bangles hear how they ring ching-a-lingle Baubles bangles bright shiny heads sparkles spangles My heart will sing sing-a-linge Wearing baubles bangles and beads I glitter and gleam so make somebody dream So that some day he may buy me A ring a-ling a-ling a-ling a-ling A-ling a-ling a-ling a-lingle I've heard that's where it leads Wearing baubles bangles and beads
