Danny Kaye - Tschaikowsky (And Other Russians)

Текст песни

Without the least excuse\nOr the slightest provocation,\nMay I fondly introduce,\nFor your mental delectation,\nThe names that always give me a concussion,\nThe names of those composers known as Russian.\nThere’s Malichevsky, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tschaikowsky,\nSapelnikoff, Dimitrieff, Tscherepnin, Kryjanowsky,\nGodowsky, Arteiboucheff, Moniuszko, Akimenko,\nSolovieff, Prokofieff, Tiomkin, Korestchenko.\nThere’s Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikoff, Ilyinsky,\nThere’s Medtner, Balakireff, Zolotareff, and Kvoschinsky.\nAnd Sokoloff and Kopyloff, Dukelsky, and Klenowsky,\nAnd Shostakovitsch, Borodine, Glière, and Nowakofski.\nThere’s Liadoff and Karganoff, Markievitch, Pantschenko\nAnd Dargomyzski, Stcherbatcheff, Scriabine, Vassilenko,\nStravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Mussorgsky, and Gretchaninoff\nAnd Glazounoff and Caesar Cui, Kalinikoff, Rachmaninoff,\nStravinsky and Gretchnaninoff,\nRumshinsky and Rachmaninoff,\nI really have to stop, the subject has been dwelt upon enough!\nHe’d better stop because we feel we all have undergone enough!
