Song lyrics to I’m Gonna Ring the Bell Tonight. Music by Vernon Duke, Lyrics by Sammy Cahn. Sung and danced by Doris Day and Ray Bolger in April in Paris
For three nights straight
I’ve been forced to act sedate
May I say, I didn’t like the role.
Thanks to you, my friends
My pretense now ends
And you’ll forgive me
If I kind-a lose control.
I don’t care what we did last night
And the night before that
And the night before that too
I’m gonna ring the bell tonight
I’m gonna ring the bell tonight
That’s what I’m gonna do!
I’m a girl and I’m feelin’ so
Happy New Year’s Eve-y and
I’m the captain and the crew
We’re gonna pop the cork tonight
We’re gonna pop the cork tonight
That’s what we’re gonna do!
And when the band take
Five minutes Intermission
You’ll be wishin’
The intermission’s through!
Here’s to you, here’s to me
And here’s to a life that’s merry
I just gotta hoop-dee-do
We’re gonna rock the boat tonight
We’re gonna rock the boat tonight
That’s what we’re gonna do.
When there’s a fiddler fiddlin’ fancy
It makes me feel so doggone antsy
But it could be the bubbly brew.
What makes saxophone is much to weally
Just get yourself a Ukulele
And you can wiki-a-waki-a loo.
Here’s to you, and to me
And here’s to a life that’s merry
If they want to they can sue,
We’re gonna rock the boat tonight
We’re gonna rock the boat tonight
That’s what we’re gonna do
I’m gonna ring the bell
I’m gonna pop the cork
And if the boat sinks
It serves them right …
I’m gonna — quote:
I’m gonna rock the boat tonight!
