There has been
So many years
Over a hundred
Over a thousand
Since first that Mariazell
Appeared to us
A strange feeling
It holds us still
Even when underwear
Has to be patched
The house has been much cleaner
The air has been much sweeter
So filled with the music of a
Piano being played
Oh the chopin of anger
Oh the Beethoven of solitude
Oh the piano being played
Making the air much sweeter
So this year has come
And though you have your love
The piano that you play
And the female who you adore
The aristocrat in you
Begs not to be disturbed
There is something I must say
There is something the world must say
To you, you idiot
Megane without emotion
Neat freak without a cause
I do indeed see and must indeed say
This last thing

Happy birthday Roderich Edelstein
