Lyrics

Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on
And mozart don't go shopping no more
You'll never meet lizst or brahms again
And elgar doesn't answer the door

Schubert and chopin used to chuckle and laugh
Whilst composing a long symphony
But one hundred and fifty years later
There's very little of them left to see

The decomposing composers
There's not much anyone can do
You can still hear beethoven
But beethoven cannot hear you

Handel and haydn and rachmaninoff
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal
But nowadays no one will serve them
And their gravy is left to congeal

Verdi and wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sounds
The pianos they play are still working
But they're both six feet underground

The decomposing composers
There's less of them every year
You can say what you like to
But there's not much of them left to hear

Claude achille debussy. died, 1918
Christof viliborg kralk. died, 1787
Carl maria von weber. not at all well, 1825. died, 1826
Giacomo meyerbeer. still alive, 1863. not still alive, 1864
Modest mussorgsky. 1880, going to parties. no fun anymore, 1881
Johann nepomuck hummel. chattin' away 19 'an a dozen with his friends down at the pub every evenin', 1836
1837, nothing
