irving and jack kaufman - ever since the movies learned to talk lyrics

[intro]
science now has really revolutionized the screen
things out there in hollywood are not so darned serene
you know, all the stars are in a panic and here’s the reason why
why, everyone must talk out loud or kiss the town 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 registers pash
sounds as if she’s ordering hash
ever since the movies learned to talk

[verse 1]
oh, they can’t fool you and they can’t fool me
when they open up, it’s a squeak, ha ha
it’s a sin, even rin tin tin
has a bark that sounds like a peke, woof, woof!
when the hero sings “asleep in the deep”
he sounds just like little bo peep
ever since the movies learned to talk

[interlude]
say, jack, you know, the talking movies are simply wonderful!
boy, you said it
why, think of hearing john gilbert in a love scene with greta garbo when he says, “greta, darling, i love you”
and then greta, she turns to him and says, “vell, vhat’ll come from this, sveetie?”
[bridge]
every bathroom singer has a chance to make a name
why, any guy with leather lungs can crash the hall of fame
and if you know your “voh+de+oh+doh” and “do, re, mi, fa, sol,” heh
why, you can go to hollywood and make a lot of dough

[chorus]
and 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, hee!
you’d swear he was raised in the south
ever since the movies learned to talk

[verse 2]
and when a dark+eyed dame with a foreign name
starts to talk in doin’ a scene, ha ha ha ha
why, we all know she’s from buffalo
and her christian name is levine
though the hero’s big, everyone knows
he makes every stitch of his clothes
ever since the movies learned to talk
