Lyrics

Da, da, da, da, da,

Jackie Wilson said

It was "Reet-Petite"

Kinda love you got

Knock me off my feet

Let it all hang out

Oh, let it all hang out.

And you know

I'm so wired-up

Don't need no coffee in my cup

Let it all hang out

Let it all hang out.


Watch this:

Ding-a-ling-a-ling

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding

Ding-a-ling-a-ling

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding

Do-da-do-da

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven

I'm in heaven, when you smile

When you smile, when you smile

When you smile.

And when you walk

Across the room

You make my heart go

Boom-boom-boom

Let it all hang out

Baby, let it all hang out

And ev'ry time

You look that way

Honey chile, you make my day

Let it all hang out

Like the man said: let it all hang out.


Watch this:

Ding-a-ling-a-ling ... etc.
