Modern Times Lyrics by J-five

Sweet Little Nothing

2004

[Intro: Charlie Chaplin]
Se motra so la sonta
Chi vossa la travonta
Je notre si cavore
Tra la la la la la la

[Verse 1: J-five]
Uh uh
And it's a
Talent most people should learn, how to
Make you laugh without saying a word (uh-uh)
People have to yell nowadays to get heard (uh)
But Charlie was a man and that man could turn
Serious into delirious, he had
A myriad of ways to paint a smile, and
Every woman in the house went, oh
If they wanted to act, they'd better act on cue so

[Hook: J-five]
He kicked the game, go figure (uh-uh)
Had no time for gold-diggers (c'mon)
The Mack Daddy of the 1930's, I'm
Kicking back on the couch watching Modern Times
One more time

[Post-Hook: Charlie Chaplin]
Se motra so la sonta
Chi vossa la travonta
Je notre si cavore
Tra la la la la la la
Uh!

[Verse 2: J-five & Charlie Chaplin]
Rise 'em up
Hold that thought, I got a vision, it's intense
I want a globe I can bounce off of people's heads
And when the Earth starts shaking people will commence
In a laughter, without one word being said
Does anybody here wanna hear my voice
Or is silence the golden choice?
Se motra so la sonta

[Hook: J-five]
He kicked the game, go figure (uh-uh)
Had no time for gold-diggers (c'mon)
The Mack Daddy of the 1930's, I'm
Kicking back on the couch watching Modern Times
One more time

[Post-Hook: Charlie Chaplin]
Se motra so la sonta
Chi vossa la travonta
Je notre si cavore
Tra la la la la la la

[Interlude: J-five]
Uh!
Yo!

[Bridge 1: Charlie Chaplin]
Se muntia si la moora
La sontia so gravora
La zonzia comme sora
Tra la la la la la la

[Bridge 2: J-five]
Ladies and gentlemen
Can you hold the applause?
The show is about to begin

[Verse 1: J-five]
Uh uh
And it's a
Talent most people should learn, how to
Make you laugh without saying a word (uh-uh)
People have to yell nowadays to get heard (uh)
But Charlie was a man and that man could turn
Serious into delirious, he had
A myriad of ways to paint a smile, and
Every woman in the house went, oh
If they wanted to act, they'd better act on cue so

[Hook: J-five]
He kicked the game, go figure (uh-uh)
Had no time for gold-diggers (c'mon)
The Mack Daddy of the 1930's, I'm
Kicking back on the couch watching Modern Times
One more time

[Post-Hook: Charlie Chaplin]
Se motra so la sonta
Chi vossa la travonta
Je notre si cavore
Tra la la la la la la
