Stravinsky’s Only Hit

[Chorus 1]
Stravinsky's only hit
He toned it down a bit
He didn't write the words, that was my job
He hated minor thirds
Thought them too absurd
I recommended them to make the girls sob

[Verse 1]
Adulation, how he loved it
All that action, Igor was digging it and
Party, party, rum and women
Party, party, a long way from Rite o' Spring

[Chorus 2]
Stravinsky's only smash
He didn't need the cash
Gave it all away, he was selfless
NAACP, many charities
Royalties to help all the homeless

[Verse 2]
Still more action, careful, Igor
All that action, don't overdo it, pal, and
Party, party, take it easy
Party, party, two girls, and now he's on the...

[Refrain 1]
Dance floor, Igor, he could move like a pro
Dance floor, Igor, how Stravinsky could go
Slightly tipsy, but it gave him some charm
Slipped and fell, but didn't see any harm

[Chorus 3]
Stravinsky's only hit
He toned it down a bit
He didn't write the words, that was my job
A chorus and a verse
He seemed to be adverse
I recommended them to make the hearts throb

[Verse 3]
Grammy winner as expected
Now Stravinsky shuns all the party people
Second thoughts and deep misgivings
Reputation, how can you blame him as the...

[Chorus 4]
Bitterness crept in?
Got the best of him
Felt he had let down
Art-impassioned folk
Laid off all the coke
Wasn't quite as fun

[Interlude 1]

[Chorus 5]
Stravinsky's only hit
Hasn't aged a bit
Seems as timely now, as you'll hear now:

[Chant]
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so

[Interlude 2]

[Chorus 6]
On his resume
With his great ballets
Firebird and all
They don't list his hit
Guess it doesn't fit
Heard it at the mall

[Refrain 2]
I don't see it as an object of shame
Brave of Igor to have entered the game
All he misses is a midnight massage
Platinum record, probably in his garage

[Chant]
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so
La ha ha, sing so
