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 |
