Irv Cottler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads

She glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so
That some day I may buy her a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads

She should glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so
That some day, some day I may buy her a ring, ringa-linga
I have heard that's where it leads




Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
All those noisy bangles, and beads
