♫♪♫♪ Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) - Ding Dong Merrily On High video

Ding dong! merrily on high in heav'n the bells are ringing: Ding dong! verily the sky is riv'n with Angel singing. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! E'en so here below, below, let steeple bells be swungen, And "Io, io, io!" by priest and people sungen. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Pray you, dutifully prime your Matin chime, ye ringers; May you beautifully rime your Evetime Song, ye singers. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Note: "Swungen" and "Sungen" in the second verse, whilst correct English, are very often rendered into their more modern past-forms of "swung" and "sung" for performance today, which somewhat alters the balance of that verse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding_Dong_Merrily_on_High
