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 the three Chipmunks! Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow Back to this place I dare not go For if I do, my mother will say Did you ever see a tuba swimming off to Cuba? Down by the bay Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow Back to this place I dare not go For if I do, my mother will say Did you ever see a trumpet munching on a crumpet? Down by the bay Did you ever see a drum chewing bubble-gum? Did you ever see a trombone gnawing on a dog's bone? Did you ever see a flute shake a parachute? Did you see a violin kiss a monkey on the chin? Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow Back to this place I dare not go For if I do, my mother will say Did you ever see a cymbal sipping from a thimble? Down by the bay 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 Did you ever see a cello eat a bowl of Jello? Did you ever see a French horn munch a bag of pop corn? Did you ever see an oboe dancing with a hobo? Did you see a clarinet take a kitten to the vet? Did you ever see a harp playing checkers with a carp? Did you see a viola eating some granola? Did you see a bassoon talking to the moon? Did you ever see a bass race a rocket into space? Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow Back to this place I dare not go For if I do my mother will say 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 (Down by the bay) 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 (Whole orchestra plays) |
