Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Me

Phil Ochs

[Verse 1]
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 cat

[Chorus]
I'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

[Verse 2]
Frances is the next to rise, powders up her nose
She's working for the tailor, makes the western clothes
Andy drives a sports car to the Warner Brothers ghost
He used to live in England, now he loves the coast

[Chorus]
I'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

[Verse 3]
Sometimes a friend comes by, sings the latest song
But David fights with Susan, nobody gets along
Every other Sunday it's time to make a call
Judy has a barbecue, play the volleyball

[Chorus]
I'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

[Verse 4]
In the evening when the sun goes down, the streets are all aglow
We walk out on the hillside, city shines below
We sit down for our supper, the news begins to play
Walter he is speechless, Eric speaks cliches

[Chorus]
I'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

[Verse 5]
Andy plays a cricket game, Frances holds a glass
Karen reads and darns a dress, I dream of the past
Dark is spreading up now, good evening, good night
Karen turns the bed sheet, she's turning out the light

[Chorus]
I'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
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and me
