Lyrics
Do you need the calendar to tell
‘Tis the month of May?
Thrush and hawthorn in the dewy dell
Welcome it today
Love and nature waking everywhere
Sing a song of cheer
Magic music’s in the air
Just listen and you’ll hear
Chorus
Tinkle! Tinkle! bells of Maytime
Tinkle! Tinkle! lovers’ playtime
In the merry, merry month of May
Bright eyes twinkle, hearts so tender
Wait to yield in sweet surrender
In the merry, merry month of May
From every woodland bower comes the song of spring
And love is calling youth to come and have its fling
Tinkle! Tinkle! bells are saying
“Find your love and coe a-Maying
In the merry, merry month of May
