Beethoven

(By Mike Anderson)

Windows opened that night!

I’m a watermelon fool!

Looked at myself sideways

Saw blood and I got hungry

I’ll just lay on my back a while

And shoot at the moon, like when we were kids

Just a lump in a big grey mountain

Then he asked me, “Mum, how far away is Scotland?”

I don’t know! I dunno kid!

Stop asking so many questions!

(Chorus):

Lick the icing off my dreams

Be polite and fall asleep

You got your Daddy’s brains

Rain in February’s strange

Why’d you draw so many houses?

You wasted 12 sheets of paper

Boy, boy, what’s wrong?!

Make a phone from those empty bean cans

It’s Ludwig Beethoven! He can really drink!

He needs vitamins! It’s so German!

Lick the icing off my dreams

Be polite and fall asleep

You got your Daddy’s brains

Rain in February’s strange

AAARRGGHH!!

Lick the icing off my dreams

Be polite and fall asleep

You got your Daddy’s brains

Rain in February’s strange
