paroles de chanson The Ballad of Harry Chamberlin and the Surreptitious Window Cleaner - I Monster

An old inventor once said
Window cleaners see many things, so keep a watch for one.

Harry Chamberlin had a big idea while
Playing on his Hammond organ at home in California
He thought, Why cant I press a key and hear an orchestra?
The clarinet?
The flute?
A vibraphone?
A violin?
A harpsichord?
A sly trombone?

So Harry set to work with a screwdriver and a dream
And after a few years of tinkering he completed the Chamberlin machine
With a tape recording of a real instrument for every key
The orchestra in the box was a reality
Now everyone can have a big band in their home
Now everyone can have a big band in their home

Francin, the window cleaner is coming to town
He's looking to expand his horizons
Oh Harry you had better watch out
Francin, he's blown away by Harry's invention
He offers to become the salesman
And take the Chamberlain to the nation

Who's that man?
Bill Francin
Who's that man?
Bill Francin

Harry, he never understood rock n roll
His heart belonged to the big band sound
The Chamberlin was built for the lounge

Who's that man?
Bill Francin
Who's that man?
Bill Francin

Bill soon retired of Harry's lack of ambition
He saw an opportunity and so began his mission
Unknown to harry he took a boat to England
With two chamberlain's rebadged as Francins
He would find somebody to imitate him, refine Harry's design
They would construct themselves a Francin Mk. 1
And Bill would make his fortune
