Efter febrilt sökande har jag ännu inte hittat en fullständig lyrics till denna intressanta låt med Neil Innes, som han gjorde med sin band Bonzo Dog Band.

My brother makes the noises for the talkies
There's not a single noise that he can't do
If you don't notice what a popping cork is
Rob[?] can pop a pretty cork for you
He'll do 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 crash! like thunder overhead
A cat's "Mi-aow!", a dog's "Bow-wow!"
The only sleep I get is when I'm dead
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 grumbled like a cow instead: "Moo!"

SONG : MY PARTNER MAKES THE NOISES FOR THE TALKIES - sung by Nigel Nice and Terry Tidy.) My partner 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 –
Our Nige can demonstrate 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 partner 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,
The cat’s miaow, and dog’s bow-wow,
The only sleep I’ll get is when I’m dead.
A gun goes crack : a gale starts blowing,
A duck goes quack, a dog starts crowing.
You might think we’re kidding you,
But what we say is true –
Just listen; we’ll explain to you.
My partner 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 Nige 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 partner makes the noises for the talkies,
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do.
My partner can make any noise you wish :
Like two sealions shouting out for fish.
A horse’s neigh, a donkey’s bray,
He’s even got a noise for Michael Fish. (FX : Belch)
The only time he made a bungle
Was when a tiger in the jungle
With mighty roar dropped dead
With bullets in its head
And Nige moo’d like a cow instead.
My partner makes the noises for the talkies,
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do :
You’ll know exactly what a popping cork is –
For Nige 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 partner makes the noises for the talkies,
There’s not a single noise that he can’t do.
