Lyrics:
[Chorus]
I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I been thinking about my doorbell
Oh, well
[Verse 1]
Well women and children need kisses
Not the man in my life I know
And I been going to mystery misses
I respect the art of the show
Take back what you said little girl
And while you're at it take yourself back too
Well I'm tired of sitting here waiting
Woman what you going to do now
What you going to do about it
[Chorus]
I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it, oh
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I been thinking about my doorbell
Oh, well
[Bridge]
You don't seem to come around
Point your finger and make a sound
You don't seem to come around
Knock knock since you knocked it down
Oh, well
[Interlude]
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home, yeah
Yeah, right at home, yeah
[Verse 2]
Nobody got me waiting in pain
But how come it's so easy to you
You don't strike me as the type to be callous
But your words seem so obtuse
But then again I know you feel guilty
And you tell me you want me again
But I don't need any of your pity
I got plenty of my own friends
They're all above me
[Chorus 2]
And I been thinking about my doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they going to ring it
Yeah, I been thinking about my doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they going to ring it
Oh, I been thinking about my doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they going to ring it
Yeah, I been thinking about my doorbell
Oh, well
[Bridge 2]
They don't seem to come around
Push the finger and make a sound
They don't seem to come around
Maybe they they'll knock 'em down
Oh, well
[Interlude 2]
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home
Right at home
[Chorus]
I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I been thinking about my doorbell
When ya
gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when you going to ring it
Yeah, I'm thinking about my doorbell
[Outro]
Oh, oh well

Easily one of the top hundred doorbell songs in the last few years.

[@TeShiky]

This is such a joke that I would make

[@TeShiky]

I made this joke about something else actually multiple times lol

[@sushimandaddi]

This is an absolute classic, and the big muff on those bass keys is still just insane

[@sarah-jaynemcdonald2594]

Opposite noise from a doorbell lol.

[@Therealchristopherjessup]

Well said

[@travisthornton1792]

Notice how Jack taps Meg’s leg at 1:44 to stop the tambourine. An honestly raw, unscripted, authentic performance.

[@macaroniart7523]

In the other vid "dead leaves and the dirty ground " he gives her head nods and looks to start and stop too.

[@tudormiller8898]

Yeah! I hope they'll reunite in the near future. Watching from London UK.

[@neoncarrot3670]

brilliant! Good catch... thanks for that.

[@lucasblake449]

Listening to this through headphones, the dense keys went straight through me and long story short, I am no longer constipated.

[@mtracy244]

I'm so pleased for you! 😅

After years of watching these in pre-HD internet quality, this is wonderful.

[@stevenbeechey]

Soo great huh.

Jack White is a musical genius.

I loved this session. The Dead Leaves and Ball & Biscuit are both great.

[@nickl2854]

The intersection of celeste fans and white stripes fans is not one I thought id encounter

Here Jack looks 20 yrs older than he was 2 years later

[@egguli6405]

True

[@coreydiaz2938]

the savior of music for a generation, thank you mr. white

[@SedatedGhostwriter]

They're mass uploading the videos? Oh shit what a time to still be alive!

[@spacetruckerrob]

That’s because they just released their greatest hits vinyl edition!

[@oscarpaxin2160]

I miss you Meg. Hope you’re doing well wherever you are. X

[@ThePickledGuy]

I forgot about this song, definitely a gem.

[@AGem-jd7ib]

Heh.

[@chantalvandenberg2999]

I love this pure sound of Jack! His amazing singing ❤❤❤

[@EC-kz4vv]

I heard something interesting on the radio earlier today. I am from Tulsa where Jack happens to own a home here actually. A dj on a local station was wishing Meg a happy birthday, and then said that she was a big fan of the station's morning show. I just found it very interesting that she knows a radio station in Tulsa where Jack owns a home if her and Jack supposedly aren't in touch any more. Maybe her and Jack have been back in touch! Or maybe I'm reading way too much into it.

[@maryvee61]

I dont care, Raconteurs, Dead Weather, his Solo Stuff does not compare what he had in TWS! Please get back together!!🙏🏻 We miss Meg! We miss TWS!

[@maryvee61]

P.S. Dont get me wrong they are great too, but I just love TWS!

That little chuckle when he starts playing the Steinway, guess it's a little different than his normal upright piano😀 also love the fact he can play anything & it sounds incredible. 👏

[@nickpetka]

This was the song that got me into The White Stripes. Great performance, I’m glad they’re uploading these

2005 was 16 years ago, let that sink in for a second.

When I saw Jack White in concert he jumped on his drum set to perform this song and it was so awesome!

[@charleneanderson1152]

Hey Jack, just wanted to say something to you. I know the holidays are hard, they are especially painful this year. I am hoping that things are good with your family and it is a happy one. I guess what I'm saying is be strong for the kiddos. I'm trying to be.
Peace and love

Can you elaborate? Wtf?

Anyways...you must not have kids...

Peace to u

[@sumnersvensson7237]

@@charleneanderson1152 I can explain. You're a random stranger giving unsolicited parenting advice to jack white. It's weird.

[@charleneanderson1152]

Interesting
Unsolicited parenting advice?
I told him to be strong for his kids just like I have to be strong for my kids during Covid. I've been listening to Jack for many many moons.
But the bottom line is, telling people to be strong during Covid really isn't "weird,or unsolicited", dont you think?
