Alvin’s Orchestra Lyrics By David Seville And The Chipmunks

    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
