Simon, Theodore, will you cut out that
You mean you hired all those musicians
You didn't even know
And see the country far and wide
Fifty piece orchestra costs
(Ready, boys)
Now listen to
Wah, wah, wah and listen to me
Children waving you a big hello
I'll tell you who
Orchestra and come over here
Alvin, I see you got here early
What's that great big expensive
How we love to go for a ride

Who cares what the orchestra costs

Alvin, will you cut it out?
That's very good
Alvin, Alvin

You know how much a
And you're rehearsing the band
Look at the snow and the frost
Oh, boy, I'm sure glad they don't belong to
Theodore
Orchestra, will you please go home?
We're happy while we're rolling along
We roll the windows up and down
Will you wait?

A fifty piece orchestra to play for
You can't understand a word I'm saying

A single word you're saying

I absolutely cannot understand
(Everybody ready Violins, saxophones, trumpets)
It's great when you're on the go
You know I would

Why, you've got friends
Alvin, put that baton down and listen to me
You can't understand a word I'm saying
And toot the horn in every town
And he's still worrying about the dough

Do you realize? Alvin, stop leading that expensive
Let's go

Children waving you a big hello
Oh, how we love to go for a ride
We're singing every goofy song
Alvin, stop leading that orchestra
(Hi)
Let me see, two thousand times fifty
Boy, what a joy, what fun
You just cannot go around
Orchestra waiting for over there?
And see the country far and wide
Wait a minute, you don't need

Slow down, buddy
(You bet, I did)
It's great when you're on the go
Alvin, Alvin, say something, Alvin
And see the country far and wide
Listen, fifty musicians costs over
What do you think we're
How we love to go for a ride
Gonna pay this orchestra with chestnuts ?
