[Spoken]
Ah Beethoven, one of the great composers of all time: Ludwig van Beethoven. This little melody called "Für Elise." I don't know who he wrote it für, but one of the things I've often wondered about this song... I've often wondered how long I'm supposed to play this part of it, before I come to this part of it that goes like this
But one of the neat things about Beethoven, if you think about it, let me tell ya. Listen to this...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
[Verse 1]
All he had was eight little notes
Just eight little notes but, oh
What Mr. B did with do, re, mi
Fa, so, la, ti, do, though!
[Verse 2]
All he used were eight little notes
Just eight, count 'em, eight, like these
He'd mix and match and hatch a batch
Of catchy melodies!
[Bridge]
Now, I could take two notes
And come up with nothing of note
Mr. B took a G
And a flattened E
And wrote
Fantastic
[Verse 3]
And all he had was eight little notes
Just eight little notes like these
Which goes to show that one man's scale
Is another man's symphonies!
[Interlude]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Yet all he had was eight little notes
Just eight little notes, just eight
But he wrote nine symphonies
And also some great
Quartets, quintets, fugues and sonatas
Plus an opera and a few cantatas
Using only eight little notes in a row, oh
Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do
Do, ti, la, so, fa, mi, re, do
