THE BELL THAT COULDN'T JINGLE
(Burt Bacharach)
Larry Kusik 


Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll 
jingle just like you were brand new
A Christmas bell was cryin'
and Santa heard it say
I just can't seem to jingle
and I can't go on the sleigh
Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried
The bell that couldn't jingle
It had nothin' there inside

Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll 
jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop
so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way

The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way

Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll 
jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop
so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way

The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way
it went jingling all the way
it went jingling all the way
