《Ring the Bell》歌词

[00:00:00] Ring the Bell (鸣钟) - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)

[00:00:10] I got up late this morning

[00:00:13] The future had no charm

[00:00:16] I noticed my alarm clock wasn't wownd

[00:00:21] The door bell and the phone were disconnected

[00:00:25] And people I expected weren't around

[00:00:32] So I said to myself: where's the reason

[00:00:37] Then i looked at my cellphone and said

[00:00:40] "There's the reason:

[00:00:43] A song doesn't sing by itself

[00:00:49] A bell doesn't ring by itself "

[00:00:57] RING THE BELL

[00:00:59] It's a glorious sound people gather around

[00:01:03] And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell

[00:01:09] Don't hide your head in a trough

[00:01:12] Just get up and "haul off" and RING THE BELL

[00:01:18] Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes:

[00:01:22] They'll materialize

[00:01:24] If you get up and get out of your shell

[00:01:30] You can't depend upon fate

[00:01:33] Or your height or your weight

[00:01:35] To RING THE BELL

[00:01:39] There's a grind stone for your nose

[00:01:44] There's a tree top for your toes

[00:01:48] Don't stay home and decompose

[00:01:52] Just get out and get going

[00:01:55] Where a Go-Getter goes

[00:01:57] Who can tell if you've missed a few meals

[00:02:01] If you're down at the heels

[00:02:03] Put on a "well-to-do" smile

[00:02:06] You'll do well

[00:02:09] When it's a crime to get up

[00:02:12] That's the time to get up and RING THE BELL

[00:02:19] And it's like I always say:

[00:02:23] "Don't do anything halfway"

[00:02:27] There's a time for work and play

[00:02:32] Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today

[00:02:36] RING THE BELL

[00:02:38] Be the earliest bird

[00:02:41] Why it's simply absurd

[00:02:42] How much a wide awake look can compel

[00:02:48] When it's a crime to get up

[00:02:53] That's the time to get up

[00:02:57] You got to clime to get up

[00:03:00] And ring and RING THE BELL
