My Favorite Thing (My Ding-A-Ling) Video (MV)

In the backyard, we'd laugh and we'd sing
Chasing chickens 'round, hear my ding-a-ling
Mama said, 'Boy, put that thing away!'
But I'd just chuckle and let it sway
Swingin' high from the old oak tree
My ding-a-ling was the best toy for me
Well, I got this little thing, it hangs and it swings
My ding-a-ling, oh, what joy it brings
When I was just a boy, I'd play with my toy
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, oh boy
Oh don't your bells get cold in the wintertime?
With snow on the ground and a nip in the air
I'd wear a coat but let it dangle free
In the frosty air, it's still a sight to see
Grandpa laughed, 'Son, you're just like me!'
A family tradition, as wild as can be
In the barn or out by the creek
My ding-a-ling's always causing a peak
Old Granny said, 'That boy's got spunk!'
Laughin' so hard, she nearly dropped the junk
The neighbors knew when I'd come around
My ding-a-ling's song was a joyful sound
Down at the fair, with a pie in my hand
I'd show it off to the whole darn land
One day at school, teacher had to say,
'Put that thing away, or there'll be hell to pay!'
But I just snickered and gave it a swing,
My ding-a-ling was my favorite thing.
Oh don't your bells get cold in the wintertime?
With snow on the ground and a nip in the air
I'd wear a coat but let it dangle free
In the frosty air, it's still a sight to see
Oh how it jingle-jangled through the night
My ding-a-ling gave everyone a fright
Now I'm grown, but I still reminisce
About my ding-a-ling and those childhood bliss
In the grocery store, I'd strut on by
With my ding-a-ling, catching every eye
The cashier grinned, 'Boy, what you got there?'
I said, 'Just my ding-a-ling, without a care'
Down by the river, fishin' with my friends
I'd dangle it over, see how the fun never ends
One summer night, at the county dance
I gave the girls a mischievous glance
With a twinkle in my eye, I'd let it swing
Everyone chuckled, it was my ding-a-ling
Oh don't your bells get cold in the wintertime?
With snow on the ground and a nip in the air
