As a child it was my 90 yr old dad’ favourite – The Bells of the Angelus. I am 60 and I too learned it at school. It is the same tune as the hymn we know now as Immaculate Mary I have searched loads of web site but nothing.. Under is the first few lines. Hope it can jog someone’s memory. Thank you.
The Bells of the Angelus – are calling us to pray
In sweet tones announcing the sacred Ave -
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria(repeat)

It’s called Bells of the Angelus.
The bells of the Angelus, Call us to pray.
In sweet tones announcing the sacred Ave
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
An angel of mercy, led Bernadette’s feet,
Where flows the deep torrent, Our Lady to greet.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Immaculate Mary, Our hearts are all thine.
Protect us, your children, Who kneel at thy shrine.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
The bells of the angelus
Called us to pray
In sweet tones announcing
The sacred ave
Ave, ave, ave maria
Ave, ave, ave maria
In heaven the blessed
Your glory proclaim
On earth, now, your children
Invoke your fair name
Ave, ave, ave maria
Ave, ave, ave maria
She moves like she don´t care
Smooth as silk cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn´t know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
Ooh don´t ya wanna take her
Ooh don´t ya wanna make her all your own
Maria
You´re gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights
I´ve seen this thing before
In my best friend
And the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won´t come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Ooh don´t you wanna make her
Ooh don´t you wanna take her home
Ooh don´t you wanna make her
Ooh don´t you wanna take her home
She walks like she don´t care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She´s like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die
