lyrics

I banged my head against a bell
It rang out loud and not too well
The little man who knows whats wrong
He won't shut up, he wrote this song

I can't stand that sound
But I want him around
I will float my raft
I will cast the net
When I swim I will get wet

She learned to play, she learned to sing
A bell rang out, that bell could ring
A little voice that can't be nice
it hurt her once, and teased her twice

She don't like that voice
But she has a choice
She will float her raft
And will cast the net
When she swims she will get wet

A little town not far away
The kind of place you'd like to stay
When things went well the bell would ring
When times where bad, people sing

We can hear both sounds
Thats how songs are found
And I like that noise
And I have a choice
We can float the raft
And we cast the net
When we swim we will get wet.
