This four note riff---Beethoven's fifth
Beethoven wrote a great motif though he was deaf
Beethoven wrote a great motif in treble clef
He knew his notes (He knew his notes)
It got big votes (It got big votes)
He wrote a mas-ter-piece!

It's quite a feat!

It's quite a feat that triple beat descending down (and then back up)
It's quite a feat that triple beat descending down (and then back up)
It's very famous, an ignoramus, even the thickest dolt must know
It's the most widely known symphonic piece of music
That has graced the concert halls
Even the most unmusical has heard the damn thing once or twice
Even the most unmusical has heard the damn thing once or twice
You can't escape it even if you want to get away from it

Now

Here comes the second theme..

And it's almost sweet and pretty
Quite a dainty little ditty
Yes, it's very sweet and pretty
Then it rises up in volume
And the notes go slightly higher
Then crescendos and gets louder and it builds until it
You wonder what is next and then it

POUNDS into your senses with sforzandos and some
Virtuosic playing with the strings and clarinets
And then the rest of all the oboes, flutes and coronets
Hits off-beats with the timpany and
Wraps up the first section with that riff
It's such a simple little riff of just four notes (that triple beat)
It's such a simple little riff of just four notes (that triple beat)
That triple beat!
And now repeat!!!
