Garland Judy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear the bells go ding-dong?
Do you know, do you know why they're ringin'?
Why, no, I don't know why they're ringin'
Well, you're gonna get a big surprise
'Cause I'm gonna put you wise
The bells are ringin' for me and my gal
Everybody's been knowin' to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewin', every Susie and Sal
They're congregatin'
For my and my gal
The parson's waitin'
For me and my gal
And sometime we're gonna build a little home for two
Or three or four or more
In loveland, for me and my gal
The bells are ringin' for me and my gal
The birds are singin' for me and my gal
Everybody's been knowin' to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewin'
They've been sewin' something old and something new
Sew something that is blue so they can make a trousseau for my gal
They're congregatin' for me and my gal
Look here, why
That's the parson waitin' for me and my gal
And sometime we're gonna build a little home for two
Or three, or four, or five, or maybe more
Loveland for me and my gal

Boy they were great together. You could tell they liked each other so much.
And Gene ALWAYS spoke highly of Judy and protected her.
@jaidenmohan-monestere547
Gene Kelly talked about how much Judy helped him in this particular movie, his first. So, later in movies like “Pirate” and “Summer Sock”, when she was struggling to make movies with all of the personal problems and illnesses, he fought for her, and helped her. Think a part of him really loved her. Show people were special people.
