What a beautiful noise Comin' up from the street Got a beautiful sound It's got a beautiful beat It's a beautiful noise Goin' on everywhere Like the clickety-clack Of a train on a track It's got a rhytm to spare It's a beautiful noise And it's a sound that I love And it fits me as well As a hand in a glove Yes it does, yes it does What a beautiful noise Comin' up from the park It's the song of this kids And it plays until dark It's the song of the cars On their furious flights But there's even romance In the way that they dance To the beat of the lights It's a beautiful noise And it's a sound that I love And it's makes me feel good Like a hand in a glove Yes it does, yes it does What a beautiful noise (Instrumental) It's a beautiful noise Made of joy and of strife Like a symphony played By the passing parade It's the music of life It's a beautiful noise And it's a sound that I love And it's makes me feel good Just like a hand in a glove Yes it does, yes it does What a beautiful noise What a beautiful noise Comin' into my room And it's beggin' for me Just to give it a tune Yeah and it's beggin' for me Just to give it a tune
