My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do If you've forgotten what a parrot's squawk is I'll have him illustrate that noise for you He does the steam escaping from liners leaving dock He'll fake a razor scraping, or else a cuckoo clock My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do This is what I hear when I'm in bed A bang, a rattle like thunder overhead Then cats meow and dogs bow-wow The only sleep I'll get is when I'm dead A shot goes crack, a gale starts blowing A duck goes quack, a cock starts crowing Though you may think I'm kidding you Yet what I say is true Just listen, I'll explain to you My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do I'm really not quite certain what a stork is But if it makes a noise then Rod does too He makes the noise that steers make when cowboys make a swoop He makes the noise that beards make when used for straining soup My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do My brother can make any noise you wish Like two sea lions shouting out for fish A horse's neigh, a donkey's bray He's even got a noise for Lillian Gish The only time he made a bungle Was when a tiger in the jungle With a mighty roar dropped dead With bullets in his head And Rod mooed like a cow instead My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do You know exactly what a popping cork is Well Rod can pop a pretty cork for you He'll imitate a setter, a pheasant or a grouse But what is even better is his noise for Mickey Mouse My brother makes the noises for the talkies There's not a single noise that he can't do
