Baubles, Bangles and Beads

1953 by Robert Wright and George Forrest from the musical Kismet
The melody was based on works by Alexander Borodin (the second movement of his String Quartet in D).

Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin’ baubles, bangles and beads
You’ll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Some day he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I’ve heard that’s where it leads
Wearin’ baubles, bangles and beads
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin’ baubles, bangles and beads
You’ll, you’ll glitter and gleam so
You’re gonna make somebody dream so that
Some day he may, he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I’ve heard that that’s where it leads
If you’re wearin’ baubles, bangles
And them cool, cool beads
