[Sparks - The Legend of Lil' Beethoven lyrics]
That Lil' Beethoven would show so
Much musical ability at such
An early age surprised no one
With even a slight
Familiarity with his family history that
He would excel at both carrying on in his
Great-great-great-great-grandfather's grandiose
Musical tradition
While at the same time exhibiting what could
Only be described as "street credibility"
Did surprise some how did this young
Genius acquire his particular abilities?
One day in the 19th century
Ludwig von Beethoven traveled secretly
To New York to seek the advice of the
City's most prominent ear doctor in a last
Desperate attempt
To stop the deterioration of
His hearing medically
The visit was a failure
Nevertheless, the doctor had a beautiful
Daughter, a very streetwise daughter
Whose manner was unlike anything
Ludwig had encountered
In the old world ludwig was charmed
One thing
Led to another, and after a brief affair
A child of their union was born
200 years later
Lil' Beethoven shows dramatic evidence
Of the musical genius he derived from
His great-great-great-great-grandfather, and
The charm, sex appeal
And street credibility he derived
From his great-great-great-great-grandmother
Much musical ability at such
An early age surprised no one
With even a slight
Familiarity with his family history that
He would excel at both carrying on in his
Great-great-great-great-grandfather's grandiose
Musical tradition
While at the same time exhibiting what could
Only be described as "street credibility"
Did surprise some how did this young
Genius acquire his particular abilities?
One day in the 19th century
Ludwig von Beethoven traveled secretly
To New York to seek the advice of the
City's most prominent ear doctor in a last
Desperate attempt
To stop the deterioration of
His hearing medically
The visit was a failure
Nevertheless, the doctor had a beautiful
Daughter, a very streetwise daughter
Whose manner was unlike anything
Ludwig had encountered
In the old world ludwig was charmed
One thing
Led to another, and after a brief affair
A child of their union was born
200 years later
Lil' Beethoven shows dramatic evidence
Of the musical genius he derived from
His great-great-great-great-grandfather, and
The charm, sex appeal
And street credibility he derived
From his great-great-great-great-grandmother
