Daily Noises

Ring, Ring
Goes the alarm clock in the morning

Ring, Ring
Goes the phone with all the calls

Ring, Ring
On the happy couples fingers

With the family photos on the walls

Toot, Toot
Goes the train into the station

Toot, Toot
Goes the baby in her hands

Toot, Toot
Blows the quitting whistle

The one that blew when the day began

Knock, Knock
Goes the furnace in the basement

Knock, Knock
Goes the collector on the door

Knock, Knock
On the wood to make it lucky

If there's any out there anymore
