Decomposing Composersfrom Monty Python's Contractual Obligation AlbumBeethovan's gone, but his music lives on,And Mozart don't go shopping no more. You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again, And Elgar doesn't answer the door. Shubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh, While composing a long symphony. But one hundred and fifty years later, There's very little of them left to see. They're decomposing composers, There's nothing much anyone can do. You can still hear Beethovan, But Beethovan cannot hear you. (Rather warped section of Beethovan's Fifth) Handel and Hayden and Rachmaninoff, Enjoyed a nice drink with their meals. But now-a-days no one will serve them, And their gravy is left to congeal. Vetty and Wagner delighted the crowds, With their highly original sound. The pianos they played are still working, But their both six feet under ground. They're decomposing composers, There's less of them every year. You can say what you like to Debussy, But there's not much of him left to 'ear. Achille Debussy, Died 1918 Cristoph Willibald Gluck, Died 1787 Karl Meriah VonVaber, not at all well 1825, died 1826 Geocommo Miabier, still alive 1863, not still alive 1864 Modest Mussorgsky, 1880 going to parties, no fun anymore 1881 Joanne Neppomut Ummel, chatting away night-in and a dozen, with his mates down at the pub every evening 1836, 1837, nothing. |
