Without the least excuse
Or the slightest provocation
May I fondly introduce
For your mental delectation
The names that always give me
Brain concussion
The names of those composers
Known as Russian
There's Maliszewski, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tchaikovsky
Sapellnikoff, Dmitriev, Tcherepnin, Kryzhanovsky
Godowsky, Artsybushev, Moniuszko, Akimenko
Soloviev, Prokofiev, Tiomkin, Koreshchenko
There’s Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikov, Ilyinsky
There's Medtner, Balakirev, Zolotarеv and Khvoshchinsky
And Sokolov and Kopylov, Dukelsky and Klenovsky
And Shostakovich, Borodin, Glière, and Nowakowsky
Thеre's Lyadov and Karganoff, Markevitch, Panchenko
And Dargomyzhsky, Shcherbachov, Scriabin, Vasilenko

Stravinsky!

Rumshinsky!
Rachmaninoff!
I really have to stop because you all have undergone enough!
Please play for me
That sweet melody
Called doodle doo-doo
I like the rest
But what I like best
Is doodle doo-doo
Simplest thing
There's nothing much to it
You don't have to sing
You just doodle doo-doo it
I love it so
Wherever I go
I doodle doo doodie doo-doo
