Church bells are ringin', Choirs are singing

While the preachers groan, And the sisters moan,
D7 G7 D7 G7
In a blessed tone

Down in the treme, Just me and my baby

We're all going crazy, Buck jumpin' and having fun
(repeat chorus)

Trumpet bells ringing, Bass drum is swinging

As the trombone groans, And the big horn moans,
D7 G7
And there's a saxophone
[sax solo]

[Verse 3]
