Sham-a-ling-dong-ding Lyrics - Love Filling Station - Jesse Winchester

The boys were singing shing-a-ling 

The summer night we met 

You were tan and seventeen 

O how could I forget 

When every star from near and far 

Was watching from above 

Watching two teenagers fall in love 

The way we danced was not a dance 

But more a long embrace 

We held on to each other and 

We floated there in space 

And I was shy to kiss you while 

The whole wide world could see 

So shing-a-ling said everything for me

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

HOT SONG: Dan + Shay, Justin Bieber - '10,000 Hours' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Thomas Rhett 'Remember You Young' - LYRICS 

And O the poor old old folks 

They thought we'd lost our minds 

They could not make heads or tails 

Of the young folks' funny rhymes 

But you and I knew all the words 

And we always sang along to 

O sham-a-ling-dong-ding 

Sham-a-ling-dang-dong 

So after years and after tears 

And after summers past 

The old folks tried to warn us 

How our love would never last 

And all we'd get was soaking wet 

From walking in the rain 

And singing sham-a-shing-a-ling again 

And O the poor old old folks 

They smile and walk away 

But I bet they did some 

Sham-a-lama-ding-dong in their day 

I bet that they still close their eyes 

And I bet they sing along to 

O sham-a-ling-dong-ding 

Sham-a-ling-dang-dong 

O those sweet old love songs 

Every word rings true 

Sham-a-ling-dong-ding means sweetheart 

Sham-a-ling-dang-dong does too 

And it means that right here in my arms 

That's where you belong 

And it means sham-a-ling-dong-ding 

Sham-a-ling-dang-dong
