What a beautiful day
For a wedding in May
See the people all stare
At the lovable pair
She's a vision of joy
He's the luckiest boy
In his wedding array
Hear him smilingly say....
The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Ev'rybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they're been sewing, ev'ry Susie and Sal
They're congregating for me and my gal
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal
And sometime, I'm goin' to build a little home for two
For three or four, or more, in Loveland for me and my gal
See the relatives there,
Looking over the pair
They can tell at a glance
It's a loving romance
It's a wonderful sight
As the fam'lies unite
Gee! it makes the boy proud
As he says to the crowd....
The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Ev'rybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they're been sewing, ev'ry Susie and Sal
They're congregating for me and my gal
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal
And sometime, I'm goin' to build a little home for two
For three or four, or more, in Loveland for me and my gal

As recorded by PERRY COMO:
The bells are ringin' for me an' my gal
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal
Everybody's been knowin' to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin', every Susie and Sal
They're congregatin' (ding-dong-ding-dong)
For me an' my gal (ding-dong-ding-dong)
The Parson's waitin' (ding-dong-ding-dong)
For me and my gal (ding-dong-ding-dong)
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two
Or three or four, or more
In Loveland, for me an' my gal
See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd
The bells are ringin' for me an' my gal
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal
Everyone's been knowin' (all our friends and our relations)
To a weddin' they're goin' (will be at the railroad station)
An' for weeks they've been sewin' (or they'll send congratulations)
Every Susie and Sal (for me an' my gal)
They're congregatin' for me an' my gal
The Parson's waitin' for me and my gal
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two
(Or three or four) or more (or more)
In Loveland (Loveland)
In Loveland (Loveland)
In Loveland, for me an' my gal
