Bach, Beethoven, Mozart Me Lyrics - Singles - Phil Ochs

Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air 

Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair 

Then she buys the paper, I lay on my back 

Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the cat 

I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea 

Surrounded by a cemetery 

If you get tired come up for some tea 

With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me 

Frances is the next to rise 

Powders up her nose 

She's working for the tailor 

Makes the western clothes 

Andy drives a sports car 

To the Warner Brothers ghost 

He used to live in England 

Now he loves the coast 

I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea 

Surrounded by a cemetery 

If you get tired come up for some tea 

With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me 

Some times a friend comes by 

To sing the latest song, 

But David fights with Susan 

Nobody gets along 

Every other Sunday 

It's time to make a call 

Judy has a barbecue 

Play the volleyball 

I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea 

Surrounded by a cemetery 

If you get tired come up for some tea 

With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me 

In the evening When the sun goes down 

The streets are all aglow 

We walk out on the hillside 

City shines below 

We sit down for our supper 

The news begins to play 

Walter he is speechless 

Eric speaks cliches 

I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea 

Surrounded by a cemetery 

If you get tired come up for some tea 

With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me 

Andy plays a cricket game 

Frances holds a glass 

Karen reads and darns a dress 

I dream of the past 

Dark is spreading up now 

Good evening, good night 

Karen turns the bed sheet 

She's turning out the light 

I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea 

Surrounded by a cemetery 

If you get tired come up for some tea 

With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me 

Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me
