Tschaikowsky and Other Russians

Lyrics

Without the least excuse
 Or the slightest provocation,
 May I fondly introduce,
 For your mental delectation,
 The names that always give me a concussion,
 The names of those composers known as Russian.
 There's Malichevsky, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tschaikowsky,
 Sapelnikoff, Dimitrieff, Tscherepnin, Kryjanowsky,
 Godowsky, Arteiboucheff, Moniuszko, Akimenko,
 Solovieff, Prokofieff, Tiomkin, Korestchenko.
 There's Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikoff, Ilyinsky,
 There's Medtner, Balakireff, Zolotareff, and Kvoschinsky.
 And Sokoloff and Kopyloff, Dukelsky, and Klenowsky,
 And Shostakovitsch, Borodine, Glière, and Nowakofski.
 There's Liadoff and Karganoff, Markievitch, Pantschenko
 And Dargomyzski, Stcherbatcheff, Scriabine, Vassilenko,
 Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Mussorgsky, and Gretchaninoff
 And Glazounoff and Caesar Cui, Kalinikoff, Rachmaninoff,
 Stravinsky and Gretchnaninoff,
 Rumshinsky and Rachmaninoff,
 I really have to stop, the subject has been dwelt upon enough!
 He'd better stop because we feel we all have undergone enough!
