Here are the first part of Charlie’s made up lyrics for his version in the film

Titine

JE NOTRE SO CAFORE

JE LA TU LA TI LA TWAH


LA SPINASH O LA BOUCHON

CIGARETTO PORTOBELLO

SI RAKISH SPAGHALETTO

TI LA TU LA TI LA TWAH


SENORA PILASINA

VOULEZ-VOUS LE TAXIMETER?

LE ZIONTA SU LA SEATA

TU LA TU LA TU LA WA

Charlie in City Lights c.1931
Though categorized as a silent, City Lights is really considered a sound crossover film. While still using intertitles for dialogue, the movie has a synchronized soundtrack,  sound effects and unintelligible noises that match some conversation visuals throughout.
