beethoven day - clark gesner lyrics

Loading...

[schroeder]
call the princ-p-l
and hand him the news
we’ve got a holiday
that he can’t refuse
a day of harmony
a day of music:
beethoven’s birthday!

[sally]
beethoven day?

[schroeder]
a reverential mission

[linus]
beethoven day?

[schroeder]
the hope of each musician
no more am i the only guy
to stand up and say:

hooray, beethoven
hooray!

[charlie brown]
beethoven day?

[linus]
yes. as in ludwig van beethoven, composer
born 1770, died 1827. the eldest of three sons
ludwig’s mother was the daughter of the chief overseer
of the kitchen…

[lucy]
whatever… schroeder, i just want you to know that
i’m on your side. i want to help, publicity-wise
with beethoven’s birthday

[schroeder]
thank you for your support, but i just don’t
want to see beethoven’s birthday commercialized

[lucy]
commercialized?

[schroeder]
yes. the next thing you know they’ll be selling
beethoven sweatshirts

[snoopy (wearing a beethoven sweatshirt)]
beethoven day

[schroeder]
if you’re wondering
“now, how do we start?”
just blow the music
til you know it by heart!
we’re gonna celebrate
we’ll throw a party
beethoven’s birthday!

[others]
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
and when you say the t-tle…

[others]
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
you hear a great recital
the right of every boy and girl
to stand up and say:

[others]
hooray, beethoven
hooray!

[schroeder]
beethoven day

[others]
beethoven day
beethoven day

[schroeder]
beethoven day

[others]
beethoven day
beethoven day

[schroeder]
beethoven day

[others]
beethoven day

[schroeder]
beethoven day

[others]
beethoven day

[schroeder]
beethoven day- hey, hey, hey!

[others]
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
a philharmonic rumble

[others]
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
a polyphonic jumble
a humble dedication as we
stand up and say:

[all]
hooray, beethoven
hooray!

[lucy]
i got it! we’ll demand full-page ads in every newspaper!

[linus]
we’ll start a chain or beethoven superstores!

[sally]
we’ll build a beethoven theme park!

[charlie brown]
we could have a bake sale!

[schroeder]
wait! that’s too commercial!

let’s imagine it
that glorious hour
filled with emotion
yet inspired with power
when we all honor
the man we adore
on the day we place
the newest face
on mount rushmore!

[others]
mount rushmore
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
a moment of reflection

[others]
beethoven day!

[schroeder]
a cl-ssical injection!
so facing this direction
we begin it today
a musical collection
everybody can play
the right of every boy and girl
to stand up and say:

hooray
beethoven!

hooray!

[others]
beethoven hooray!

it’s beethoven day

a time for celebrating
beethoven way
la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la

[all]
hooray!
