Classical Music Is Cool

Lyrics:

I wanna tell you people it's hard
It's hard when you're Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
And you can't think of nothing to write
Well, just last week
I had a dry spell, so to speak
Which I did not pull out of till late last night
I would sit there at the keyboard
Not a thought in my head
Gettin' more and more uptight

Classical music sure can make you blue
Classical music, oh, what you put me through

Well, I was thinkin' about knockin' it off for the evening
And goin' down to the local Bierstube for a couple frosties
When all of a sudden it struck me
That somewhere up there in my head there was a million selling hit tune
And alls I had to do was write it down.
With this thought I sat myself down at the old Klavier

And the notes came pourin' forth
From a psychic inner source
They were fallin' into place
And a great big smile lit up my face

Mazurkas, alla turcas and Italian funk
Were runnin' through my head as I went plinkity-plunk
I was playin' on the black notes, playin' on the white
Wreakin' havoc with the clavichord through most of the night
And as the day began to dawn
My voice got hoarse from singin' my hit song
I had no time for dinner 'cause I knew I had a winner
It was classical, gassical, highly selassical

Classical music is cool
Classical music is cool
If you don't dig the classics you got to be a fool
Classical music from the classical school
Every note I ever wrote is really a jewel
Classical music is
Classical music is cool

I took my lead sheets in my hand
And went to find my buddy Max, the Dusseldorf promo man

You see, I wanted a decision form the publishing division
Whether anybody thought it would sell
I wanted rental on the parts, a big one on the charts
'Cause a lot of my sonatas were doing pretty well

My name was gettin' known around town
'Cause the kids dug what I was puttin' down
They knew 'em all by heart
"Play another one by Mozart"
Gimme some of that Classical, some of that Classical, some of that

Classical music is cool, uh uh uh
Classical music is cool
If you don't dig the classics you got to be a fool
I'm gonna lay a little of it on you one time

Make me feel all right
Classical music is cool, oh yeah
Classical music is cool

Well, if you're thinkin' of makin' a music career
I got some advice that you ought to hear
If you wanna hit it big
If you wanna make a pile
You got to write in the classical style

Because classical music is cool
Classical music is cool
If you don't dig the classics, you got to be some sort of a nut
Classical music in that classical rut
Every note I ever wrote is classical and nothin' but
Classical music is, Classical music is
Classical music is, Classical music is
Classical music is
Classical music is cool
Get down
