The Legend of Lil' Beethoven - Sparks

Surprised no one with even a slight familiarity with his family history

That he would excel at both carrying on

In his great-great-great-great-grandfather's grandiose musical tradition

While at the same time exhibiting what could only be described

As «street credibility» did surprise some

How did this young genius acquire his particular abilities?

One day in the 19th century, Ludwig von Beethoven traveled secretly to New York

To seek the advice of the city’s most prominent ear doctor

In a last, desperate attempt to stop the deterioration of his hearing

Medically, the visit was a failure

Nevertheless, the doctor had a beautiful daughter

A very streetwise daughter

Whose manner was unlike anything Ludwig had encountered in the old world

Ludwig was charmed, one thing led to another and after a brief affair

A child of their union was born

200 years later, Bill Beethoven shows dramatic evidence

Of the musical genius he derived from his great-great-great-great-grandfather

And the charm, sex appeal, and street credibility he derived

From his great-great-great-great-grandmother

A true musical genius has arrived

A genius called Lil' Beethoven
