Bells are ringing, soul of France 
Bells are singing of romance 
               
C'est tres jolie en Paris in the spring 
Watching all the lovers walk along the Seine 
Pitch a penny in her like a wishing well 
Feed the pigeons in the park near Tour-Eifelle 
 
Bells are ringing, soul of France 
Bells are singing of romance 
 
There's a chapel "Sacre Coure" in quaint Montmarte 
In the open air the painters show their art 
In the restaurant sip a beaujolies 
What a perfect way to spend a lovely day 
 
Bells are ringing, soul of France 
Bells are singing of romance 
 
Sunday morning, hear the bells of Notre Dame 
Watching belles jeunes filles and the handsome gendarmes 
Near the Arc De Triomphe on the Champs-Elysees 
Coffee and croissants in a sidewalk cafe 
 
Some people go to see the races at Deauville 
Or weekend by the racing tides of Mont San Michelle 
Some take the tour of Chartres on an autobus 
While the writers and the artists never leave Mont Parnasse
