Serenade of the Bells
In the sleepy town of San JuanitaThere's a story that the padre tellsOf a gay senor and senoritaAnd the serenade of the bellsSeems they asked the padre for permissionTo be married early in the springBut their folks had just made one conditionThat the mission bells had to ringEveryone knew that the bells were brokenAnd hadn't sounded for a long long timeThen one night the village was astoundedFor the bells began to chimeStill the bells are broken, goes the storyBut if in your heart a true love dwellsThey will chime for you in all it's gloryThat's the serenade of the bells
