Ding-dong-ding, ah! Ring it
You can ring my bell
Anytime, anywhere

[Chorus]
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell
[Bridge]

You can ring my bell
Ding-dong-ding, ah! Ring it
You can ring my bell
Anytime, anywhere
Ring it, ring it
Ring it, ring it, ah!
You can ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ding-dong-ding, ah! Ring it
You can ring my bell
Anytime, anywhere
Ring it, ring it
Ring it, ring it, ah!
