(Paul Francis Webster / Sammy Fain)


Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters - 1950

Also recorded by: Dale Evans; Gracie Fields.



CROSBY:
I fell in love lock, stock and barrel
I wanted so to know that she'd care
But the lock wouldn't turn
And the stock wouldn't sell
And the barrel was empty as air

SISTERS:
I wanted so to sing him a love song
Of wedding bells and roses in May
But the words wouldn't rhyme
And the bells wouldn't chime
And the roses were paper mache

CROSBY:
Then I had a happy thought
And a ring I bought for her finger
And the ring I chanced to bring
Was the ring that rang the bell

SISTERS:
Now we're in love lock, stock and barrel
And all because a girl and a boy
CROSBY:
Found the lock had a key
Sold the stock C-O-D
ALL:
Now our lives are a barrel of joy

BING CROSBY:  I fell in love
PATTY ANDREWS:  I fell in love
BOTH:  Lock, stock and barrel 
BING CROSBY:  I wanted so
BOTH:  I want to know that we care
BING CROSBY:  But the lock wouldn't turn
PATTY ANDREWS:  And the stock wouldn't sell
BOTH:  And the barrel was empty as air

BING CROSBY:  I wanted so
PATTY ANDREWS:  I want to sing
BOTH:  Sing you a love song
BING CROSBY:  Of Weddin' bells
BOTH:  Bells and roses in May
BING CROSBY:  But the words wouldn't rhyme
PATTY ANDREWS:  And the bells wouldn't chime
BOTH:  And the roses were paper mache

SISTERS:
Then he thought a happy thought
And a ring he bought for my finger
And the ring he chanced to bring
Was the ring that rang the bell

CROSBY:
Now we're in love lock, stock and barrel
And all because a girl and a boy
Found the lock had a key
Sold the stock C-O-D
Now our lives are a barrel of joy

(Instrumental Break)

ALL:
Now we're in love lock, stock and barrel
And all because a girl and a boy
SISTERS:
Found the lock had a key
CROSBY:
Sold the stock C-O-D
Now our lives are a barrel of joy
ALL:
Now our lives are a barrel of joy
