[Verse]
G
The urchins are writhing around in the mud
Ab
Like eels playing tag in a barrel
C Dm
The old Sally Army sounds mournful and sweet
Em F#m B
As they play an old Christmasy carol
[Verse]
G
The world is as dark as a black night in hell
Ab
What kind of place can this be?
C Dm
Old people like hermit crabs run into doorways
Em F#m B
Fearing to say, "Do you feel as downtrodden as me?"
[Chorus]
Em
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling

The devil leans on your bell

The future looks black as before__

And the sun never shines

The sun never shines on the poor

[Verse]
G
The rich man he dreams of his gold and his plate
Ab
And his house and his car and his women
C Dm
The poor man he dreams of his one room estate
Em F#m B
And his wage packet short by one shilling
[Verse]
G
The last penny falls through a hole in your jeans
Ab
Now ain't that the way when you're down?
C Dm
Just walking in circles for the rest of your life
Em F#m B
And feeling so low that your chin scrapes along on the ground
[Chorus]
Em
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
B7
The devil he leans on your bell
