They say that Byrd did it, Bax did it,
Stockhausen and Berio (by fax) did it,
Let's do it,
Let's fall in love.
Old Rimsky-Korsakov, he did it,
Borodin, Mussorgsky, Cesar Cui did it,
Let's do it,
Let's fall in love.
Some say that Clara and Brahms did it,
Klemperer and Gilels;
Percussion ensembles do it -
Think of tubular belles;
In Aldburgh, Peter and Ben did it,
Ralph Vaughan Williams somewhere in a fen did it,
Let's do it,
Let's fall in love.
The old tale about the youthful Brahms playing in cat houses has been more recently discredited.
