@moraamarolaloba hey Mora - thanks for the kind feedback. Glad I could bring that happy little girl back to your heart at least for a little while  ;D

@2tuoo cheers for that - glad it lifted your mood - thanks for listening and commenting  ;D ;D

@PaulyX - haha - industrial hiphop and then this? What a segue! Thanks for the kind words.

@Yodasdad - thanks yoda's - Yeah those bells are weird in a way - they came with the acid pro DAW package and I even had to play the bottom bell up a fourth to get it on the right note. What a hoot  ;D

@Morefrog Jones - yep xmas is the perfect time for a big slice of cheddar IMHO. Thx for listening  ;D

@DollysGirl - thank you - you're new around here (welcome!) and obviously very kind!

The Christmas Bell That Wouldn't Ring
Copyright (c) 2017 Tennyson Road Music

It happened every year at Christmas
The kids would decorate the Christmas tree
They got a box of bells from the basement shelves
And hung them up so carefully

But they always had a tiny problem
When they gave each bell a little shake
One didn't make a sound, so they knew that they'd found
The Christmas bell that wouldn't ring

He was such a lovely golden colour
And he could shine like any star you've seen
But as cruel as it sounds, they didn't like him around
So they stuck him at the back of the tree

 He could hear the gong
 Of the big bell's song
 At the start of every Christmas day
 But it was hard to be
 Hanging quietly
 When he knew he had a part to play


Then one Christmas eve' he hung there waiting
When Santa came upon the scene
And it was just by chance, he took a sideways glance
And saw our shiny friend behind the tree

A helper who had come with Santa
Sprang to action when she saw him wink
She tapped her hammer quick, and had his clapper fixed
In the time it takes an elf to blink

And that bell began to ring!
And his ring was a beautiful thing!!

 Now when he hears the bong
 Of the big bell's song
 At the start of every Christmas day
 He's at the front of the tree
 Ringing gleefully
 He knows his part by heart, I'm happy to say!


So the moral of this little story
Is everybody's got a part to play
Until you play your part, keep a song in your heart
Like the Christmas bell that wouldn't ring

Until you play your part, keep a song in your heart
Like the Christmas bell that wouldn't ring !!

Love this!!!! When is your Christmas album coming out?
