OLD CHURCH BELLS. Copyright, 1892, by Francis, Day & Hunter. Written and composed by Harry Dacre. 
Bells are ringing in yonder tower, sweet church bells; 'Tis a wedding of wealth and power, peal all the bulls; They are a "May and December" pair, Standing before the altar there; Bridegroom is old and the bride so fair, but what care the bells. 
Refrain. Old church-bells are sweetly chiming, merrily chiming, ring-dong-dong! In their jingle these words mingle: there is another good man gone wrong! 
There are belles of a diff'rent kind, female belles: Some of them in the street we find, loud, brazen belles; Johnnie will think her a sweet young miss; She leads him on and he thinks it's bliss; Then he goes ringing* a bell(e) like this, and clang go the bells.-Refrain. 
There are belles with a load of cash, golden belles; Old And stale, but they wish to mash, cracked, worn-out belles; Some of the belles will advertise, "Wanted a husband with sky-blue eyes," Up comes a wastrel who "cops" the prize, And clang go the belles. -Refrain. 
Then we've the ladies who serve at bars, fine glass belles; Belles who serve you with bad cigars, electric belles; Taking the presents from gay young men. Taking a drive with him now And again (gen), Sometimes he marries her-oh, well then clang go the bells. -Refrain. 
*Business putting ring on finger.
