You know that nearly everybody in the world has a whistle.
It's perfectly true and all you have to do is learn how to control it.
And the first question that I'm asked when I do this whistling business is
Where did you learn to whistle like that?
Where did you learn?
Well I am an African.
And the way they whistle is like this.
But they usually combine it with working.
So you see you can get something.
Let's see if I can do this right for you.
Here we go.
Yeah that's a bit more of them.
I'll show you how to do this.
Do you want to try?
Yes.
Alright well you take these two fingers.
You're right.
Take these two.
Not just this.
Everybody try.
Just go on.
The Canadians are noted for their courage.
Do me a favor.
Take hold of your bottom lip like this.
Don't squeeze it hard.
It hurts.
Put a sort of kink in it and shove it up against your top teeth.
And then suck.
Oh you've got false teeth.
Don't do this for God's sake.
Oh.
[E]
You think I'm joking?
We had one old fellow one night.
He thought he'd swallowed his actually.
He found them in his sweater.
Alright.
Take hold of your bottom lip like this.
And shove it up against your top teeth.
And then suck in.
That's wonderful.
Well we have a lot of suckers out there tonight.
Now [N] what we'll do.
Hang on a minute.
Wait a second.
Okay.
Funny the ones that laugh are the ones that weren't caught.
Now.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll play you an African song.
[E] Which you may not have ever heard before.
You have.
I'll be very surprised.
Now.
You see it starts off singing.
But in the middle it's got a
So you've got to watch out for that.
I start off.
Maybe.
And you all shout.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Right?
This is your chance to sing in Swahili.
[N] Are [Em] you ready?
Alright.
[A]
[E] Fantastic.
[B] You know.
The only way we [E] can get all those superior people in the balcony.
Together with us down here.
Really.
That I can work out.
Is to clap our hands.
I won't ask you to do it more than once.
Just everybody.
Now.
Come on.
