Alvin and the Chipmunks Wiki

"Put Your Records On" is a song originally by Corinne Bailey Rae that is covered by The Chipettes in the second CGI/live-action film, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. An extended version is also included in the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Film Version

The Chipettes:
Three little birds, sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Oh-oh

Jeanette & Eleanor (Brittany):
Girl, put your records on (ah-ah), tell me your favorite song (ah-ah)
You go ahead, let your hair down
(Go ahead, let your hair down)

Brittany & Jeanette:
Sapphire and faded jeans (jeans), I hope you get your dreams (dreams)

The Chipettes:
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Soundtrack Version[]

Brittany (Brittany & Eleanor):
Yeah, yeah
Three little birds, sat on my window
(And they told me I don't need to worry)

Summer came like cinnamon
(So sweet)
(Little girls double-dutch on the concrete)

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate

Brittany & Jeanette (Eleanor):
Girl, put your records on (on), tell me your favorite song (song)
You go ahead, let your hair down (go on and let it down)
Sapphire and faded jeans (jeans), I hope you get your dreams (dreams)

The Chipettes:
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Brittany:
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Blue as the sky, sun burnt and lonely

Brittany & Eleanor (Brittany):
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside (Just relax, just relax)

(Don't you let those other boys)
Fool you
Gotta love that afro hair do

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
(Oh, don't you think it's strange?)

Brittany & Jeanette (Eleanor):
Girl, put your records on (on), tell me your favorite song (song)
You go ahead, let your hair down (go on and let it down)
Sapphire and faded jeans (jeans), I hope you get your dreams (dreams)

The Chipettes:
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Brittany (The Chipettes):
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, (I thought that I was stronger)
When you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to

(Girl, put your records on)

Jeanette (Eleanor):
Tell me your favorite song (song)
You go ahead, let your hair down (go on and let it down)
Sapphire and faded jeans (jeans), I hope you get your dreams (dreams)
Just go ahead, let your hair down (go on and let it)

Girl, put your records on (on), tell me your favorite song (song)
You go ahead, let your hair down (go on and let it down)
Sapphire and faded jeans (jeans), I hope you get your dreams (dreams)

Jeanette & Eleanor:
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Brittany:
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
