Ding Dong

It was such a lovely day in Spring,

   I woke up when I heard the clock start to ring,

   Took a shower, dressed, and put on my wedding ring,

   Then I heard the doorbell "Ding",

   Went downstairs to find a telegram that he had to sing.

   When he finished the number and doing his thing,
 
   I had to see how much of a tip I could swing.

   Not enough for him to have a fling,

   But, I gave him all I had without thinking.

   Got in the car which was finally working,

   Stopped at the station for a pack of "Filter King",

   Grabbed some chocolate cake rolls while remembering,

   As the cash register went 'Cha Ching',

   "I don't have any money...I'm such a Ding-a-Ling".
