Lyrics:

Beethoven s Gone, But His Music Lives On,
and Mozart Dont Go Shopping No More,
youll Never Meet Listz Or Brahms Again,
and Elgar Doesnt Answer The Door.

schubert And Chopin Used To Chat All Night Long,
whilst Composing A Long Symphony,
but One Hundred And Fifty Years Later,
theres Very Little Of Them Left To See.

the Decomposing Composers,
theres Nothing Much Anyone Can Do,
you Can Still Hear Beethoven,
but Beethoven Cannot Hear You.

handel And Hyden And Rachmaninov (),
enjoyed A Nice Drink With Their Meal,
but Nowadays No One Will Serve Them,
and The Gravy Is Left To Cogeal.

verdi And Wagner Delighted The Crowds,
with A Highly Original Sound,
the Pianos They Used Are Still Working,
but Theyre Both Six Feet Underground.

the Decomposing Composers,
theres Less Of Them Every Year,
you Can Say What You Like To Debussi,
but Theres Not Much Of Him Left To Hear
