Down By The Bay / Alvin's Orchestra Lyrics

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?Alvin & The Chipmunks - Down By The Bay / Alvin's Orchestra - http://motolyrics.com/alvin-and-the-chipmunks/down-by-the-bay-alvins-orchestra-lyrics.html
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)
