[Intro] | D D D G | [Chorus]
G                         D
[tab]                  G
I go around, just singin' this song

                   C
I got a gal, maybe two or three

D                                      G
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
[Verse 1]
                            D
Most folks worry, when they have no dough

                              G
It can't feel good, 'cause of feelin' low

                      C
I don't worry, if I'm broke no more

D                          G
I ain't rich, so I must be poor
[Verse 2]
                          D7
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't mean a thing

                      G
Just some words, that you can sing

                                C
Makes no difference, if they're right or wrong

D                                 G
Beating on the ding dong, all day long
[Break] | G D7 | D7 G | G C | D G/D | [Verse 3]
G                         D        D7
Some are happy, when they have big cars

                          G
They ride around and they puff cigars

                       C
Give me a rattle trap, Model T

D                        G
I'm as happy, as a chickadee
[Verse 4]
                         D
A house and a flea and a bunch of mice

                     G
Out in the barnyard, shootin' dice

                             C
The horse rolled forward and stepped on a flea

    D                                     G
The flea yells fellas, there's a horse on me
[Chorus]
                          D7
Beating on the ding dong, all day long

                  G
I go around, just singin' this song

                   C
I got a gal, maybe two or three

D                                      G
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
[Break] | G D7 | D7 G | G C | D G/D | [Verse 5]
G                          D7
I stood with a gal, on the porch last night

                                G
A huggin' and a kissin' till it got daylight

                          C
Her pa said get him and I had to dance

  D                                  G
A bull dog had me by the seat of the pants
[Verse 6]
                        D
I don't have nothin' to bother me

                       G
Happy as a possum in a salmon tree

                        C
If I had a wife, that'd work at all

  D                               G
I wouldn't have work, this comin' fall
[Chorus]
                          D7
Beating on the ding dong, all day long

                  G
I go around, just singin' this song

                   C
I got a gal, maybe two or three

D                                      G
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
[Outro]
D                                      G    D D D G
Beatin' on the ding dong, don't bother me
