Hark How the Tones

A touching version of “Carol of the Bells” by Mykola Leontovych & Peter Wilhousky. A warm tribute to all 911 dispatchers. Hark! how the tones Sweet annoying tones All seem to say, “Do What Dispatch Says.” The call is near You’re the closest there Lights flash red & blue Unless going code-2 Ring, ding, ding, ding The phones start to sing That’s our 911 tone Everyone is quick to grab the phone Giving instructions to all No matter what type of call Keep caller on the phone So they know they’re not alone Enter the call Make sure the units got it all Document as things change Everyone on the same page In minutes it’s been a few The arrival of the crews. The call comes to an end Your ready for the next one again Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring 911 Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring 911 Oh the tones that we send On without end Those joyful tones To fire station’s home Repeat from the beginning Ring, Ring, Ring, Dong
