[00:17.64]	Take a seat and cool it 'cause unless you overrule it
[00:19.77]	We are ready to show you some blowin'
[00:22.29]	A rompin' and a stompin' is a lot of fun
[00:24.57]	Four brothers who are blowin' our horns
[00:26.91]	So settle down an' listen 'cause you don't know what you're missin'
[00:29.07]	And we're ready to give you a showin'
[00:31.50]	A movin' it 'n groovin' it has just begun
[00:33.63]	Four brothers who are blowin' our horns
[00:36.12]	We got a little message that you're gonna enjoy
[00:38.46]	Ain't no sense in dodgin' the facts
[00:40.80]	So settle in your easy chair an' if you ever had a care forget it
[00:43.65]	It's time to relax
[00:45.45]	We might as well admit it we're the best that ever did it
[00:47.61]	But in case you ain't too sure a knowin'
[00:50.01]	We're gonna let you listen to us one by one
[00:52.41]	Four brothers who are blowin' our horns
[00:53.82]	Janis：
[00:53.91]	How'd ya do I'm talkin' about you
[00:56.43]	It's very nice to know that you have really taken time to listen to me blow
[01:00.51]	'Cause as sure as I'm born I'm blowin' my horn
[01:03.24]	It's me baby I'm blowin' zootin' it up
[01:06.57]	And I hope you dig the sounds I'm makin' more'n any other
[01:09.27]	Now I must go for it's time for you to listen to my other brother
[01:13.29]	Tim：
[01:13.38]	I think the chick's talkin' 'bout me so I'd better go 'n see
[01:17.91]	I'm hip that she knows a horn is very best to greet you
[01:20.10]	That's the reason I'm blowin' so snappily
[01:23.22]	I don't know what ya got but it thrills me an' I hope to have a lot
[01:25.92]	'Cause it puts me in clover
[01:27.30]	So baby if you would like to dig my other brother
