《Decomposing Composers》歌词

[00:00:00] Decomposing Composers (Monty Python Sings) - Monty Python

[00:00:14] Beethoven's gone

[00:00:15] But his music lives on

[00:00:17] And Mozart don't go shopping no more

[00:00:20] You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again

[00:00:24] And Elgar doesn't answer the door

[00:00:27] Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh

[00:00:31] Whilst composing a long symphony

[00:00:34] But one hundred and fifty years later

[00:00:37] There's very little of them left to see

[00:00:41] They're decomposing composers

[00:00:44] There's nothing much anyone can do

[00:00:48] You can still hear Beethoven

[00:00:51] But Beethoven cannot hear you

[00:01:10] Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov

[00:01:13] Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal

[00:01:17] But nowadays

[00:01:18] No one will serve them

[00:01:21] And their gravy is left to congeal

[00:01:25] Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds

[00:01:28] With their highly original sound

[00:01:32] The pianos they played are still working

[00:01:36] But they're both six feet underground

[00:01:40] They're decomposing composers

[00:01:43] There's less of them every year

[00:01:47] You can say what you like to Debussy

[00:01:51] But there's not much of him left to hear

[00:01:55] Claude Achille Debussy Died 1918

[00:02:01] Christophe Willebald Gluck Died 1787

[00:02:07] Carl Maria von Weber

[00:02:09] Not at all well 1825 Died 1826

[00:02:16] Giacomo Meyerbeer

[00:02:17] Still alive 1863 not still alive 1864

[00:02:24] Modeste Mussorgsky 1880 going to parties

[00:02:29] No fun anymore 1891

[00:02:32] Johan Nepomuk Hummel

[00:02:34] Chatting away nineteen to the dozen

[00:02:37] With his mates down the pub every evening

[00:02:39] 1836 1837

[00:02:43] Nnothing
