Description

Fun song for choir
Original words and music based partly on the old renaissance song and partly on modern life - where relationships can be born and die on mobile phones).
The tune is based on the instrumental Bell Dance (by the same composer)

The audio sample provided here is the ATTB version sung by the composer

ring ding dong
ring ding dong

It was a lover and his lass in the spring time
that through the city streets did pass in this ring time
calling each other every minute or two
texting in case they couldn't get through
oh hearken to the lovers in the spring time!

Between the supermarket aisles while they're shopping
these pretty city folk would chat without stopping
vainly the birds are welcoming spring with their song
they'll wear themselves out e'er very long
while lads and lasses never tire of ringing!

Then one day when Romeo must text his Julietta
just to say I luv ya yeah I luv ya so much
but she rings back to tell him that it's all over
she's met a nicer lad from Folkestone or Dover
(It's all over it's all over, lad from Dover)

so he just rings to all of his pals and calls her a slag!

and all the people on the tram hear the show, while
our pretty city folk live all on their mobile
then suddenly the battery's flat as a skate
and Romeo can not ring his mate
he's sorry that he called her "slag" in spring time
he can't ring her he can't ring his Julietta
sorry now in spring.
