Jingle

Jingle!
She has a bracelet on    Hear it?
Jingle!
When she tells her friend how concert-hip she is it
Jingles!
Quaking little cupids. trolls and other creatures come together
   and they
Jingle!
On the brighter side, she's taking off her hat,
    but when she does it's tutti-forte
JINGLE!
I'm betting at the softest point of Weber's overture she'll
    consult her program and it will
Jingle!
Oh, damn!
Jingle!
It's in my ears    in my head    like Robert Schumann
Jingle!
Get a grip    The concertmaster has come on    takes a bow
    looks to see who makes a
Jingle!
The oboe sounds an A
Jingle!
The winds begin to tune
Jingle!
The brass have heard her song and laugh
Jingle!
Horns    trumpets    trombones give a mighty blast!
Jingle!
And here come the strings    all 62    pull there bows
    but still can hear that
Jingle!
Now    at last    her tintinnabulation's lost in thunderous
    applause    Maestro has come on
(Jingle)
I do believe he knows the lass
Jingle!
He throws to her a little bow    a kiss
Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle!
