"Put A Back Beat To That Music" lyrics

I never saw Tchaikovsky play
I only heard him yesterday
With all that harmonizing, no synthesizing
He wasn't bad in his day
But put a back beat to that music
I wouldn't like it anyway

I never heard Beethoven sing
So "Yes" or "Nee" didn't mean a thing
He really got high on his feeling
Every time he heard the church bells ring
But put a back beat to that music
It really wouldn't made it swing

Now when I hear that kind of music
I gotta say it sounds okay
But when I listen to that rhythm
I want to change it right away

So when I hear Tchaikovsky play
I gotta change it right away
Into a feel so we can use it
And really make the people sway
You put a back beat to that music
They're gonna like it anyway
Yes, they are

You put a back beat to that music
It really wouldn't made it swing

Now when I hear that kind of music
I gotta say it sounds okay
But when I listen to that rhythm
I want to change it right away
So when I hear Tchaikovsky play
I gotta change it right away
Into a feel so we can use it
And really make the people sway
You put a back beat to that music
They're gonna like it anyway

I never saw Tchaikovsky play
I only heard him yesterday
With all that harmonizing, no synthesizing
He wasn't bad in his day
But put a back beat to that music
I wouldn't like it anyway
