《Decomposing Composers》歌词

[00:00:00] Decomposing Composers - Monty Python

[00:00:14] Beethoven's gone 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

[00:00:30] 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

[00:00:42] They're decomposing composers

[00:00:45] 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 coachman

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

[00:01:17] But nowadays 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

[00:01:35] But they're both six feet underground

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

[00:01:44] 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 aching Debussy died 1918

[00:02:01] Christendom Willemstad cluck died 1787

[00:02:07] Carl maria Avon weber not at all well 1825 died 1826

[00:02:16] Giacometti Meyerbeer still alive 1863 not still alive 1864

[00:02:24] Modest Mussorgsky 1880 going to parties no fun anymore 1881

[00:02:32] Jonah nepotism Hummer

[00:02:35] Chatting away nineteen to the dozen

[00:02:37] With his mates down the pub every evening 1836 1837 nothing
