TWO JESTS FOR FUN
TWO JESTS FOR FUN
I. A Song On One Note (Almost)
May we sing you, sing you a little song?
It sounds so pretty. Not a note will be wrong.
We'll sing it clearly. We'll sing it strong.
This is our song!
Listen closely as we begin verse two,
There's something happening. Do you notice it too?
Yes, there's a gimmick all the way through.
Now we'll tell you:
Every note that we are singing in this song
is the same as every note before.
That's 'cause we're singing one note,
and that's all that we're singing (nothing more).
We have no sense of sorrow,
we have no sense of shame,
Just because every note that we are singing
in this song is the same.
Don't start yawning. Stay seated. Here's a clue.
We're nearly finished. This song is almost through.
But will the last note be the same too?
No! This one's new!
II. The Knock Knock Song
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Will.
Will who?

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Hugo.
Hugo who?
Hu goh-na like this concert!
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Donna.
Donna who?
Donna get outaya seat till the end of the show!
Knock knock jokes can be funny or annoying.
That's because of all the puns they're employing.
Part of every joke's the same and part of each one's new.
But when somebody says "knock knock,"
you always must say, "Who's there?"
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Mike.
Mike who?
Mike country 'tis of thee.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Ivan.
Ivan who?
Ivan workin' on the railroad.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Shelby.
Shelby who?
Shelby comin' round the mountain when she comes.
Hee haw!
Knock knock jokes can be such an awful bore.
'Cause you always have to ask who's at the door.
You can stop a knock knock joke before it can begin,
If when somebody says, "knock knock,"
you simply holler, "Come in!"
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Little old lady.
Little old lady who?
I didn't know that you could yodel!
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad that this song is over?
