My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do: |
If you’ve forgotten what a parrot’s squawk is — |
Our Rod can demonstrate that noise for you. |
He does the steam escaping from liners leaving dock; |
He’ll fake a razor scraping or else a cuckoo clock. |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do. |
This is what I hear when I’m in bed — |
A bang, a rattle, like thunder overhead, |
The cat’s miaow, and dog’s bow-wow, |
The only sleep I’ll get is when I’m dead. |
A shot goes crack: a gale starts blowing, |
A duck goes quack, a cock starts crowing. |
You might think I’m kidding you, |
But what I say is true — |
Just listen; |
I’ll explain to you. |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do: |
I’m really not quite certain what a stork is — |
But if it makes a noise, then Rod does too. |
He makes the noise that steers make |
When cowboys make a swoop: |
He makes the noise that beards make |
When used for straining soup. |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do. |
My brother can make any noise you wish: |
Like two sealions shouting out for fish. |
A horse’s neigh, a donkey’s bray, |
He’s even got a noise for Lilian Gish. |
The only time he made a bungle |
Was when a tiger in the jungle |
With mighty roar dropped dead |
With bullets in its head |
And Rod moo’d like a cow instead. |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do: |
You’ll know exactly what a popping cork is — |
For Rod can pop a pretty cork for you. |
He’ll imitate a setter, a pheasant or a grouse — |
But what is even better is his noise for Mickey Mouse. |
My brother makes the noises for the talkies, |
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do. |
