Lyrics

Dave:
Now then, fellas, what's a "pushmi-pullyu"?

Alvin:
He's an animal, with, uh, four legs, and uh, a face on each end.

Simon:
Remarkable animal!

Dave:
And Dr. Dolittle takes the pushmi-pullyu to a circus, owned by Mr. Blossom. Then what happens?

Alvin:
Mr. Blossom takes one look, and nearly faints.

Dave:
No, Alvin, I mean AFTER he nearly faints, what does he do?

Alvin:
He sings this song!

I mean, I've seen the world
I've been around
I could tell you stories
That would quite astound you
I'm not a fool
I went to school
I've been from Liverpool to Istanbul.

Dave:
Istanbul?

Alvin:
I'm no fool!
And anyone will tell you
That I'm sharper than a knife
But I've never seen anything like it in my life

The Chipmunks:
No, I've never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
I've never seen anything like it in my life

Alvin:
Fantastic!

The Chipmunks:
I thought I'd seen every wonder in the world
I've seen the Coliseum in Rome
And the Acropolis
I've made the biggest blunder in the world
Because I've never seen anything quite like this

Alvin:
I mean, I know the game
I've seen them all
I could tell you stories
That would quite enthral you
I know me job
Pleasing the mob
I give 'em what they want for just two bob!

Dave:
Just two bob?

Alvin:
That's my job!
But this is so fantastic,
I can't wait to tell the wife,
Gertie, I've never seen anything like it in my life!

The Chipmunks:
No, I've never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
I've never seen anything like it in my life

Alvin:
Absolutely remarkable!

The Chipmunks:
I thought I'd seen every miracle on Earth
I've seen The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Pyramids
They're not worth half what the pushmi-pullyu's worth
Because they really don't have an appeal for kids

Alvin:
I mean, I'm down to Earth
I'll tell you straight
I could tell you stories
That would fascinate you
I know the trade
I know the tricks
I once bought an elephant for two pounds six

Dave:
Two pounds six?

Alvin:
Taught it tricks!
But for your pushmi-pullyu, I'd pay
Three pounds!
Four pounds!
Five!
'Cause I've never seen anything like it that's alive!

The Chipmunks:
No, I've never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
I've never seen anything like it
In all my life!
