Trying to escape the city heat
 I saw her from the corner of my eye, eye, eye
 Yes she looked so good I thought I'd die
 My heart went bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
 My heart went bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang

 Something said I shouldn't waste no time
 If I'm ever gonna make her mine
 I walked right up and say how do you do, do, do
 She said I bet I do as good as you
 My heart went bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
 My heart went bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang

 I remember when I held her tight
 Felt like holding dynamite now
 What's that ringing in my ear
 Tell me ain't those bells I hear
 Bang, bang, shang a lang
 Bang, bang, shang a lang
 Bang, bang, bang
 Shang a lang lang
 Bang, bang, bang
 Shang a lang, lang

 Now she's gonna spend her life with me
 Then we'll be as happy as can be
 Because I love her more than I can tell, tell, tell
 Sunday afternoon we'll hear the bells
 And they'll go  bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
 And they'll go  bang shang a lang, bang shang a lang
 Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
