Serenade of the Bells Songtext

von Sammy Kaye

In the sleepy town of San Juanita,
There's a story that the padre tells
Of a gay senor and senorita
And the serenade of the bells.

Seems they asked the padre for permission
To be married early in the spring,
But their folks had just made one condition
That the mission bells had to ring.

Everyone knew that the bells were broken
And hadn't sounded for a long long time.
Then one night the village was astounded
For the bells began to chime.

Still the bells are broken,
Goes the story,
But if in your heart a true love dwells,
They will ring for you in all its glory,
That's the serenade of the bells.

Everyone knew that the bells were broken
And hadn't sounded for a long long time.
Then one night the village was astounded
For the bells began to chime.

Still the bells are broken,
Goes the story,
But if in your heart a true love dwells,
They will ring for you in all its glory,
That's the serenade of the bells.
