1. Beethoven's Wig

Beethoven's Wig is very big
Beethoven's wig is long and curly and it's white
Beethoven takes his wig off when he sleeps at night
Because it's big
It's very big
Beethoven's wig is big
It's really big
Beethoven's wig is heavy when he takes a walk
His wig is even bigger than the wig of Bach
It is tremendous it is stupendous
It is gigantic and titanic
Monumental and colossal
And enormous and humongous
Cause it's big it's really big
It's very big it's mighty big Beethoven's Wig
It's oh so wide you'll need a guide
To see each side it's really big
It's grandiose don't get too close you'll overdose
Because it's big. Big!
Beethoven's Wig is big!

It's stylish and it's handsome
It costs a small king's ransom
Five hundred bucks and then some
But the hair's so long and flowing
That the wig seems like it's growing
And it keeps his face from showing
Poor Beethoven's wig needs mowing
Cause Beethoven's wig is big

Beethoven's wig is very big it's oh so big
It's filled with goo it's such a problem to shampoo
It's really very, very big
Beethoven's wig is very big, it's awful big
It's such a mess it even has it's own address

Beethoven's wig
It's such a mop he should stop at the barbershop
It's way too big
His mother called she said he would look better bald
Because it's big it's very big. Beethoven's wig!

3. Please Don't Play Your Violin at Night

Please don't play your violin at night
Wolfgang go to bed turn out the light
But I must play my violin
At night my violin
Must be beneath my chin
I love the music of the night
I won't turn out the light
Oh I love music in the night
But the music so late at night
Makes it quite hard to go to asleep, asleep
But the music that I play at night is light
Maybe you should try counting sheep
Try counting sheep it will help you sleep
Sheep will never help me sleep
You should try counting sheep
No sheep won't help me sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep,
Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep
Sheep won't help me sleep
Won't help me sleep
Try counting sheep!
Wolfgang I'm still not sleeping
Please stop the music
Dear it's just a little night music
Night music must stop
Night music is inspiring
Night music is too tiring
The melody is soaring
And I wish I were snoring
When I hear music in the night
It fills my soul with such delight
I hope the music will never end
And I will never ever sleep
Night music is like heaven
And it's half past eleven
The notes are stars that twinkle
I envy Rip Van Winkle
When I hear music in the night
I never want to see daylight
But dear the music will soon be over
And we both can go to sleep
Just a few more notes left to write
And then we'll finally turn out the light
And we'll say goodnight
That's the music of the night. Good night!

5. Just For Elise

Here's a short Beethoven piano piece
He wrote this piece just for Elise
It's all about a fellow named Maurice
Who came from Greece with a valise
Maurice loved Beethoven's piano piece
He loved this piece more than Elise
And nobody could keep it from Maurice
He fleeced Elise and took her piece
He did her wrong he took her song
It's all he cared for all along
And when Elise saw that Maurice
Had fleeced her piece she called the police
They found the piece in the valise
They all went to the Justice of The Peace
Who sent Maurice right back to Greece
It was all right to her delight
Elise can play her piece all night
And if you hear Beethoven's piece
Played by your nephew or your niece
Nephew or niece perform this piece
Please tell them to remember that this piece
This little piece is for Elise.

8. Drip, Drip, Drip

You left the bathroom water dripping Sylvia
Into the sink it's drip, drip, dripping Sylvia
It's so annoying all that dripping Sylvia
Go turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

The bathroom sink is overflowing Sylvia
Because the dripping keeps on going Sylvia
It will not stop the drip and drop we'll need a mop
Go turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

Oh Sylvia the situation's such a pain
The water keeps on dripping and the problem here is very plain
The drops won't all fit down the drain

The house is getting irrigated Sylvia
And I am getting irritated Sylvia
I see it pour down on the floor and out the door
Go turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

The water's running down the street oh Sylvia
It's soaking everybody's feet oh Sylvia
The mess you're making is complete so Sylvia
Go turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

The city's flooded it's all wet dear Sylvia
The citizen's are quite upset here Sylvia
The future's grim our chances slim we'll have to swim,
Please turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

Oh Sylvia the situation's looking dark
The water keeps on dripping our new next door neighbor is a shark
We better call up Noah's ark

The whole wide world is underwater Sylvia
I just ran into Neptune's daughter Sylvia
And all the fish go splash and splish I really wish
You'd turn the water off and stop the drip, drip, dripping Sylvia

10. Hey Guitar Teacher

Hey guitar teacher thanks for assigning this song
It's a swell melody and it isn¹t very long
My dear mother prefers that it's not blues or rock
It is Johann Sebastian Bach

They say classical music's an old noble art
And if you listen to it, then it will make you smart
With some other composers I think that's a crock
Give me Johann Sebastian Bach

Every single note that the old master wrote
Was as perfect as perfect could be
In a Fugue or a Mass no one else could surpass
His divine sense of melody

If someone should insist that you make up a list
Of composers that you can recall
It takes no Ph.D. it is easy to see
Mr. Bach was the best of them all

So guitar teacher thanks for this musical treat
It's got great counterpoint, and I like the steady beat
It's a piece I will practice and play round the clock
Cause it's Johann Sebastian Bach
