Lyrics
Baubles, bangles
Hear how they jing-jing-a-ling-a
Baubles, bangles
Bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads
I’ll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so
That someday he may
Buy me a ring, ring-a-ling-a
I’ve heard that’s where it leads
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads
