There's hassle in the castle

trouble in paradise

can't even tell

what's naughty or what's nice

everyone's nestled

and tucked in their beds

waiting for a vision

to hit them in the heads



Orange and apples

orange and lemons

can you hear

the bells of St. Clements



Bats in the belfry

striking the chimes

you call it nonsense

and we call it rhyme



With bells on our fingers

we got bells on our toes

but we try to hide them

so nobody knows



Orange and apples

orange and lemons

can you hear

the bells of St. Clements



Listen

follow the beat

something to believe in

something sweet to eat



Orange and apples

orange and lemons

can you hear

the bells of St. Clements
