Four Brothers |
| Take a seat and cool it 'cause unless you overrule it |
| We are ready to show you some blowin' |
| A rompin' and a stompin' is a lot of fun |
| Four brothers who are blowin' our horns |
| So settle down an' listen 'cause you don’t know what you’re missin' |
| And we’re ready to give you a showin' |
| A movin' it 'n groovin' it has just begun |
| Four brothers who are blowin' our horns |
| We got a little message that you’re gonna enjoy |
| Ain’t no sense in dodgin' the facts |
| So settle in your easy chair an' if you ever had a care — forget it |
| It’s time to relax |
| You might as well admit it, we’re the best that ever did it |
| But in case you ain’t too sure o' knowin' |
| We’re gonna let you listen to us one by one |
| Four brothers who are blowin' our horns |
| How’d ya do, I’m talkin' about you |
| It’s very nice to know that you have really taken time to listen to me blow |
| 'Cause as sure as I’m born, I’m blowin' my horn |
| Listen’t’me baby, I’m blowin', zootin' it up |
| And I hope you dig the sounds I’m makin' more’n any other |
| Now I must go for it’s time for you to listen to my other brother |
| I think the chick’s talkin' 'bout me so I’d better go 'n see |
| I’m hip that she knows a horn is very best to greet you |
| That’s the reason I’m blowin' so snappily |
| I don’t know what ya got, but it thrills me an' I hope to have a lot |
| 'Cause it puts me in clover |
| So baby, if you would like to dig my other brother |
| You’re gonna have to turn the record over |
| Hey hey hey |
| Who ya talkin' about, say who ya talkin' about |
| Did I hear you say you’d introduce your other brother |
| 'Cause in case I heard you talkin' about three, that’s me |
| Pleased to meet you, how’d you do, how are you, nothin’s new |
| How is everything with you? |
| Whattya say I leave this jazz up to my brother -- |
| Dig dig dig my Long Island sound |
| I hope you’re puttin' it down |
| You got me in a mood that’s so romantic |
| If you noticed you can take this silly old actin' |
| 'Cause I’m actin' so distracted when I dig you |
| Pretty baby you will never know how much I really dig you |
| You have got me so excited that I goofed blowin' my horn |
| Boop bop the news is gettin' around, we’re really puttin' it down |
| We’re glad, in fact, to know that you enjoy it and we wish we had the time to |
| give you more |
| Thank you for the compliment |
| You told us we were better just as though we didn’t know it |
| We’re hip that we’re the best, we’re over all the rest |
| We’re in the modern school, we always play it cool, we never play the fool |
| The honkers and the squeakers might be stealin' the show |
| But we don’t go for that, so while we blow |
| Hi-ho, lackaday, boy it’s a natural fact |
| I ain’t no kin, but I would like to get in the act! |
| Well get outta here, get outta here, get outta here now |
| Fellas we appreciate it makin' you mad |
| But we must ask you to apologize |
| Because after all he’s in our band |
| Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers |
| Although we sound like more |
| Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers |
| We’re really only four |
| We like to blow but we don’t know how time can fly and how an hour can pass away |
| We wish the time would never go so we could take our time an' blow 'til |
| judgement day |
| Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers |
| Now just one final word: |
| I’m happy to know you and I hope I don’t forget you |
| It’s really a pleasure and I hope I don’t look silly to you |
| I’m hopin' the story that I told did not upset you |
| Sorry, now in conclusion we are hoping that you heard four |
| So just before we go we want you to know --- |
| We’re glad you let us show you how we always end up with that jazz |
| (We don’t go for braggin' but we’re blowin' our own…) |
| Horn! |
