with [Nancy Sinatra], <duet
with her> and (chorus)
[Getting stoned on sunshine,
getting high on air,]
Getting to it naturally, really
getting there,
[Getting such a high on, loving
what I do,]
I'm so full of happiness, my
hope's on something new,
<Life is such a trippy thing,
hello birdies, hello, sing,>
[Each day on earth is a day
that's worth remembering] (remembering, remembering).
<And I mean just what I sing
like this such a groovy thing,>
<Don't pity me, I'm glad to
be a ding-a-ling> (ding-a-ling)
[My pot is filled with flowers,
my grass is bright and green,]
My tears brewing in my cup, and
still I make the scene.
[But just don't try to change
me, I love the world I found,]
I've got to fly my own sweet
way, and don't you shoot me down. [hahaha]
<Life is such a trippy thing,
hello birdies, hello, sing.>
<Each day on earth is a day
that's worth remembering.> (remembering, remembering).
<And I mean just what I sing
like this such a groovy thing,>
<Don't pity me, I'm glad to
be a ding-a-ling,> (a ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling).
Don't pity me, I'm glad to be a
ding-a-ling, [a ding-a-ling], (ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling).
<Don't pity me, I'm glad to
be a ding-a-ling,> ( ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling).
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling,
(ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling).
Ha ha ha, that's
silly.(ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling).
