Mixed Up Sounds is a song in the second story Mr. Fixit Fixes It from Richard Scarry's Best Silly Stories and Songs Video Ever. This song is sung by Freddie Fox, Lily Bunny, Fireman Ralph and Grandma Bear.
Mr. Fixit fixes the characters' belongings that don't make any sound, but the sounds are in the incorrect place: Grandma Bear's cuckoo clock "honks" like a tricycle horn, Fireman Ralph's siren says "mama" like a doll, Freddie Fox's tricycle horn goes "cuckoo" like a cuckoo clock, and Lily Bunny's doll wails like a siren. So they sing a song about other things that make sounds that are wrong.
Lyrics[]
(Verse 1)
Lily Bunny: What if your clock won't go cuckoo,
But it went... (horn honking) ...all day long?
Fireman Ralph: And what if your piano went... (dog barking)
When you're trying to play a song?
Freddie Fox: What if your dolly went... (siren wailing) ...
Every time you hugged her tight?
Grandma Bear: And what if your daddy went... (duck quacking) ...
Who tucked you in at night?
(Chorus)
All: If sounds were not where they belong,
Things would be strange, it's true.
If all the sounds got all mixed up,
We'll all be mixed up, too!
(Bridge)
Fireman Ralph: If a cow went... (bird chirping)
And a horse went... (sheep baaing)
Lily Bunny: And your teacher went... (donkey hee-hawing!)?
If a drum went... (bell ringing)
Freddie Fox: ...And a bell went ("Ouch!")
And your doctor went... (rooster crowing)?
(Verse 2)
Lily Bunny: What if a siren went (doll saying "mama!"),
And a telephone went... (cow mooing)?
What if a typewriter went... (cat meowing)
And a tea kettle went ("Ah-choo!")?
Grandma Bear: What if a horn didn't go... (horn honking)
But it went... (cuckoo clock sound) instead?
And what if your friend went... (chicken chlucking)
And that was all she said?
(Repeat Chorus)
