Artist/Band: Spike Jones
Lyrics for Song: Knock! Knock! (Who's There)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Spike Jones



Knock Knock (Who's there?)



We've played a million silly games from bingo to gin rummy.

But, if you're good at puns on names, you'll find that this one's funny.

So, when you next have company,

or folks start dropping in for tea,

Just say, "who's there?" And then prepare to learn a thing or three.



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Sarah.

Sarah who?

Sarah doctor in the house?



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Emma.

Emma who?

Emma gunna have trouble with you?



(Refrain)

If you know how puns are made, then you know how this is played.

On your mark, get set to go

Knock, knock, knock, that's the phrase.



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Hirem.

Hirem who?

Hirem doin'? Hey, hey!



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Allah.

Allah who?

Allah want for Christmas is my two front teeth!



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Ray.

Ray who?

Racing with the moon...



(Refrain)



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Don.

Don who?

Don be half safe.



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Vera.

Vera who?

Vera are you, you old bat?



Ka-nock, ka-nock.

Who's there?

Hugh.

Hugh who?

Hugh who to you too!



(Refrain)



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

To be.

To be who?

To be or not to be, that is the question.



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Alouisious.

Alouisious who?

Alouisiouth ith that you'd thtop thingin thith thilly thong!



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Alice.

Alice who?

Alice M. F. T.



(Refrain)



Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Horace.

Horace who?

Horace....



And there they go... It's toupee going on ahead, long underwear has fallen

down behind, and toothpaste is being squeezed out on the rail.


Knock! Knock! (Who's There)
