Couldn't Play Ska Lyrics

Heard about Bach a right old fart who couldn't play ska
Mozart thought he was really smart but he couldn't play ska
Benjamin Britten a right old cretin who couldn't play ska
And Beethoven was a real no'one he couldn't play ska
Heard about Grieg out of his league but he couldn't play ska
Tschaychovsky could never see why he couldn't play ska
Mozart thought he was really smart but he couldn't play ska
And Beethoven was a real no'one he couldn't play ska
I wonder what the hell he was smoking
When he wrote this he must have been joking
Sibelius he made such a fuss when he couldn't play ska
Sebastian Bach was a right old fart who couldn't play ska
Brahms and Liszt were positively p***** so they couldn't play ska
And Beethoven was a real no'one he couldn't play ska

I wonder what the hell he was smoking
When he wrote this he must have been joking

That Bizet was pretty upset when he couldn't play ska
And Berlioz well nobody knows why he couldn't play ska
Elgar knew there was nothing he could do so he couldn't play ska
And Beethoven was a real no'one he couldn't play ska
I wonder what the hell he was thinking
When he wrote this he must have been drinking
