"Ringle, Ringle" is a song featured in Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol. It is initially sung early on as a duet by Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Mr. Magoo) and Bob Cratchit. In the song, Magoo/Scrooge appreciates his coins aesthetically and for the wealth they represent, while Cratchit sings in counterpoint about how cold it is and musically begs Scrooge to spare the expense of a piece of coal to warm him.
At the end of the story, Magoo/Scrooge sings a reprise in which he has learned that the coins are "meant for passing around", as he spends the coins to help the Cratchit family.
Lyrics:
(Part 1)
Ringle, ringle, coins when they mingle
Make such a lovely sound.
Oo guineas and tuppence And tuppence and bobs.
Make my ears tingle And keep my heart throbbing.
Crowns and coppers,
Little eye-poppers
Can make my pulses pound.
Coin in a column
Can make the es-tab-lish-al
De-nom-i-na-tion-al
Or alph-a-bat-i-cal
Alphabatical, ringle ringle
when they tingle
Makes such
a-ha lovely Sound!
(Part 2)
Ringle, ringle, coins when they mingle (It's cold)
Make such a lovely sound.
(It's cold. It's frightfully cold)
Ah, guineas and tuppence.
(Please)
And tuppence and bob.
(Please, Mr. Scrooge)
Make my ears tingle.
(Please)
And keep my heart throbbing.
One piece of coal. Crowns and coppers, (Mr. Scrooge)
Little eye-poppers
(It's cold.)
Can make my pulses pound.
(So cold, so frightfully cold)
Humbug, it's humbug its giving to charity. Orphans are pesky and Christmas a parody.
Ringle, ringle, coins when they mingle
(Please Mister, Please Mister. Please Mr. Scrooge)
Make such a lovely sound.
(It's cold, it's cold, it's cold)
(Part 3)

Hee, look at me. Going outside like this on Christmas morning. Lock me up for a looney, they will, I said, yes, ha, ha, ha. Yes. Oh, there now! Oh, that's better, yes, ha, ha.
(Reprise)
Ringle, ringle, coins when they jingle,
Make such a lovely sound.
Guineas and tuppence and tuppence and bobs.
Give them away and nobody can rob you.
Crowns and coppers. Little eye-poppers were made to pass around.
Let's say a prayer that the lord never misses
when he distributes his blessings at Chrismas.
[laughing and singing] Ringle, ringle, coins when they jingle
make such a lovely sound
[laughing]
Ha!
