Alvin's Orchestra

Well, hi, Simon

(Hi)

Theodore

(Hi)

Alvin, I see you got here early

And you're rehearsing the band

That's very good

You know I would

What's that great big expensive

Orchestra waiting for over there?

Oh, boy, I'm sure glad they don't belong to

Alvin, Alvin, say something, Alvin

(Everybody ready Violins, saxophones, trumpets)

You mean you hired all those musicians

(You bet, I did)

You know how much a

Fifty piece orchestra costs

(Ready, boys)

Wait a minute, you don't need

A fifty piece orchestra to play for

Oh, how we love to go for a ride

And see the country far and wide

Look at the snow and the frost

Will you wait?

We roll the windows up and down

And toot the horn in every town

Who cares what the orchestra costs

I'll tell you who

We're happy while we're rolling along

We're singing every goofy song

Boy, what a joy, what fun

Children waving you a big hello

Why, you've got friends

You didn't even know

How we love to go for a ride

And see the country far and wide

It's great when you're on the go

Let's go

Alvin, put that baton down and listen to me

You just cannot go around

Listen, fifty musicians costs over

Let me see, two thousand times fifty

Do you realize? Alvin, stop leading that expensive

Orchestra and come over here

Children waving you a big hello

And he's still worrying about the dough

How we love to go for a ride

And see the country far and wide

It's great when you're on the go

Alvin, will you cut it out?

What do you think we're

Gonna pay this orchestra with chestnuts ?

Now listen to

Slow down, buddy

I absolutely cannot understand

A single word you're saying

You can't understand a word I'm saying

You can't understand a word I'm saying

Simon, Theodore, will you cut out that

Wah, wah, wah and listen to me

Orchestra, will you please go home?

Alvin, stop leading that orchestra

Alvin, Alvin
