There's a story that a padre tells
Of a gay senor and senorita
And the serenade of the bells
Seems they asked the padre for permission
To be married early in the spring
But their folks had made just one condition
That the mission bells had to ring
Ev'ryone knew the bells were broken
And hadn't sounded for a long, long time
Then one night the village was astounded
For the bells began to chime
Still the bells are broken, goes the story
But if in your heart a true love dwells
They will ring for you in all their glory
That's the serenade of the bells
In the sleepy town of San Juanita There's a story that a padre tells Of a gay senor and senorita And the serenade of the bells Seems they asked the padre for permission To be married early in the spring But their folks had made just one condition That the mission bells had to ring Ev'ryone knew the bells were broken And hadn't sounded for a long, long time Then one night the village was astounded For the bells began to chime Still the bells are broken, goes the story But if in your heart a true love dwells They will ring for you in all their glory That's the serenade of the bells Explain Request ×
