Verse 1
Ebm
This is a little thing by Mozart.
It's one of his biggest hits.
The words are by Bill Solly
and it's entitled Rondo alla Turca.
Clever as a bass, that's who we cast.
If it takes two,
sing it very, very fast.
Bb
Bbm
That's the way you see it,
especially if you can make it last.
Bb
Ebm
Poetry prose,
put a bit of those to a
little melody
that everybody knows.
Bbm
Like Rachmaninoff, Chopin,
Tchaikovsky, Bach, or Berlioz.
Gb
In a nightclub,
Db
nothing's more rubbish.
Gb
It's a winner every single time,
Ebm
though the words are
absolutely rubbish.
All you ever have to do is rhyme.
Fill up all the gaps.
No one ever claps,
not unless you're giving the impression
B
that perhaps one false step
is all you need
Abm
Bb
Ebm
for your performance to collapse.
Eb
Go out or on,
Ebm
and remember that it really
Bb
doesn't matter,
Eb
for they don't ever listen
Bb
Ebm
to the words you do to death.
Eb
You can sing any nonsense,
Bb
any idiotic chatter,
Eb
just as long as you don't appear to
Bb
Ebm
E
actually take a breath.
And if you don't believe me,
B
let me give you some examples.
E
Kathmandu is a city in the
B
E
country of Nepal.
Patronized by Sir Worthington,
B
Gb
B
they give away free samples.
E
I could swear he's not wearing any
Em
B
Em
underwear at all.
Incidentally, you must give a clue
that the celeb here is following through.
Bm
It's a frivolous,
ridiculously easy thing to do.
Em
Get to a stage
and exaggerate every single syllable.
Sure to your like,
B
your technique is the thing
Bm
when you've nothing to communicate.
G
D
And to be incredibly clever
G
D
your attack must never never drop
Em
Till they think you're only a drifter
Then the time has come for you to stop
On just before falling
on the floor
Though you're the risk of
C
being ever so de mur
B
Keep on dragging out the
ending
Em
B
Though you're only just pretending
Em
B
An d you're out of breath and bending
And upending you'll be spending
Em
Keeping sending and extending
B
Dramatically and suddenly there
Em
Em
isn't any more
WOOOOOO!
