WHAT’S THAT SOUND?

Chorus:
What's that sound? What's that sound?
So many sounds I hear
What's that sound? What's that sound?
So many sounds are in my ear!
Verse 1:
In the morning the rooster crows
A train is coming when its whistle blows
Listen to the crickets that the nighttime brings
The sun is shining when the birds all sing
Hear the cuckoo clock at the stroke of noon
"Moo" says a cow jumping over the moon
Put some oil on the squeaky door
In the jungle, the lion roars!
Now listen again, and see if you remember them
CHORUS
Verse 2:
At the bowling alley, you knock down the pins
The orchestra is tuning up the violins
Can you hear the boat coming into the bay?
When a horse talks, what does he say?
I'll laugh if you tell me a funny joke
A glass fell over, and it broke!
There's a barrel of monkeys at the zoo
"Boing, boing" goes a jumping kangaroo
Now hear 'em again, and see if you can name them
CHORUS
Verse 3:
If I snore all night, would I keep you awake?
A frog's sitting on a lily pad in a lake
Can you dance to the beat of a drum
Or blow a bubble with your chewing gum?
Run away from a buzzing bumble bee
A pig says "oink" when it's mud he sees
When you pour soda pop, listen how it's fizzy
Hang up the telephone, because it's busy
One more time around, can you name the sound?
CHORUS
