The Legend of Lil' Beethoven

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
