Ever Since the Movies Learned to Talk Lyrics by Billy Murray

0

[Intro]
Science now has really revolutionized the screen
Things out there in Hollywood are not so darned serene
All the stars are in a panic, here's the reason why
Everyone must talk out loud or kiss their jobs goodbye
[Chorus]
Lots of old time stars are out of a job
All they do is blubber and sob
Ever since the movies learned to talk
And a red-hot vamp who registered pash
Sounds as if she's ordering hash
Ever since the moviеs learned to talk
[Verse 1]
Oh, they can't fool you and thеy can't fool me
When they open up, it's a squeak
Why, it's a sin, even Rin Tin Tin
Has a bark that sounds like a Peke
When the hero sings "Asleep in the Deep"
He sounds just like Little Bo Peep
Ever since the movies learned to talk
[Bridge]
Every bathroom singer has a chance to make a name
Any guy with leather lungs can crash the hall of fame
If you know your "voh-de-doh" and "do, re, mi, fa, sol"
You can go to Hollywood and make a lot of dough
[Chorus]
When the vill-ian gets the gal in his toils
She says, "Take your dirty old poils!"
Ever since the movies learned to talk
And when Emil Jannings opens his mouth
You'd swear he was raised in the South
Ever since the movies learned to talk
[Verse 2]
When a dark-eyed dame with a foreign name
Starts to talk in doing a scene
We all know she's from Buffalo
And her Christian name is Marine
Though the hero's big, still, everyone knows
He makes every stitch of his clothes
Ever since the movies learned to talk
[Chorus]
Once the movie kiss made hearts loop-de-loop
Now it sounds like drinking hot soup
Ever since the movies learned to talk
All the old-time stars were seen, but not heard
Now, you hear them lithp every word
Ever since the movies learned to talk
[Verse 3]
When they start a scene, it's an awful scream
He says, "Thweetheart, kith me, my dear"
She says, "Thith is tho thudden, thweet
Can't you thay you mith me, my dear?"
He says, "Honetht, truly, thweetie, I thwear
You yourthelf thtart lithping right there"
Ever since the movies learned to talk
