Classical Music Is Cool Songtext
von John Forster

I wanna tell you people it′s hard
It's hard when you′re Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
And you can't think of nothing to write
Well, just last week
I had a dry spell, so to speak
Which I did not pull out of 'til late last night
I would sit there at the keyboard
Not a thought in my head
Getting more and more uptight

Classical music
Sure can make you blue
Classical music
Oh, what you put me through

Well, I was thinking about knocking it off for the evening
Going down to the local bierstube for a couple of frosties

When all of a sudden it struck me that somewhere up there in my head
There was a million-selling hit tune
And alls I had to do was write it down

With this thought I sat myself down at the old clavier


And the notes came pouring forth
From a psychic inner source

They were falling into place
And a great big smile lit up my face
Mazurkas, alla turcas and Italian funk
Were running through my head as I was thinking it plunk
Well, I was playing on the black notes, playing on the white
Wreaking havoc with the clavichord through most of the night
And as the day began to dawn
My voice got hoarse from singing my hit song
I had no time for dinner ′cause I knew I had a winner
It was classical, classical, highly salacical

Classical music is cool
Classical music is cool
If you don′t dig the classics you've got to be a fool
Classical music from the classical school
Every note I ever wrote is really a jewel
Classical music is, classical music is cool


I took my lead sheets in my hand
I went to find my buddy Max, the Dusseldorf promo man
You see, I wanted a decision from the publishing division
Whether anybody thought it would sell
I wanted rental on the parts, a big one on the charts
′Cause a lot of my sonatas were doing pretty well
My name was getting known around town
'Cause the kids dug what I was putting down
They knew ′em all by heart, "Play another one by Mozart"
Give me some of that classical, some of that classical, some of that

Classical music is cool
Classical music is cool
If you don't dig the classics you′ve got to be a fool
I'm gonna lay a little of it on you one time
Make me feel alright
Classical music is cool, oh yeah
Classical music is cool

Well, if you're thinking of making a music career
I got some advice that you ought to hear
If you wanna hit it big, if you wanna make a pile
You got to write in the classical style because

Classical music is cool
Classical music is cool
If you don′t dig the classics you′ve got to be some sort of a nut
Classical music in a classical rut
Every note I ever wrote was classical and nothing but
Classical music is, classical music is
Classical music is, classical music is
Classical music is cool
