Bach, Beethoven, Mozart & Me Lyrics


Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air
Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair
Then she buys the paper, I lay on my back
Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the catI'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
Surrounded by a cemetery
If you get tired come up for some tea
With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and meFrances is the next to rise
Powders up her nose
She's working for the tailor
Makes the western clothesAndy drives a sports car
To the Warner Brothers ghost
He used to live in England
Now he loves the coastI'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
Surrounded by a cemetery
If you get tired come up for some tea
With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and meSome times a friend comes by
To sing the latest song,
But David fights with Susan

Nobody gets alongEvery other Sunday
It's time to make a call
Judy has a barbecue
Play the volleyballI'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
Surrounded by a cemetery
If you get tired come up for some tea
With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and meIn the evening When the sun goes down
The streets are all aglow
We walk out on the hillside
City shines belowWe sit down for our supper
The news begins to play
Walter he is speechless
Eric speaks clichesI'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
Surrounded by a cemetery
If you get tired come up for some tea
With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and meAndy plays a cricket game
Frances holds a glass
Karen reads and darns a dress
I dream of the pastDark is spreading up now
Good evening, good night
Karen turns the bed sheet
She's turning out the lightI'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea
Surrounded by a cemetery
If you get tired come up for some tea
With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me

He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and released eight albums in his lifetime. Ochs performed at many political events, including anti-Vietnam War and civil rights rallies, student events, and organized labor events over the course of his career...
