Tenement Symphony - Edmund Hockridge[00:00:00]
Written by:Sid Kuller[00:00:01]
Aaah aah[00:00:12]
Schubert wrote a symphony[00:00:21]
Too bad he didn't finish it[00:00:23]
Gershwin took a chord in G and[00:00:26]
Proceeded to diminish it[00:00:29]
I sought a variation[00:00:32]
On a theme that I thought pretty[00:00:34]
And I found my inspiration[00:00:37]
On the east side of the city[00:00:42]
The Cohens and the Kellys[00:00:55]
The Campbells and Vermicellis[00:00:59]
All form a part of[00:01:03]
My Tenement Symphony[00:01:06]
The Cohen's pianola[00:01:12]
The Kellys and their victrola[00:01:16]
All warm the heart of my Tenement Symphony[00:01:19]
The Campbells come tumblin' down the stairs[00:01:28]
Hoodlie ah hoodlie ah hoodlie ah[00:01:30]
Oh Marie oh Marie[00:01:35]
You'll be late for your date with Izzy[00:01:39]
And from this confusion[00:01:45]
I dreamed of a grand illusion[00:01:50]
It's my Tenement Symphony in four flats[00:01:55]
The kid on the first floor practicing the minuet[00:02:11]
The kid on the second floor yelling[00:02:16]
For the dinner that he didn't get[00:02:19]
The guy on the third floor awakened from his slumber[00:02:25]
By the guy on the fourth floor[00:02:28]
Practicing the rhumba[00:02:31]
And from this confusion[00:02:49]
I dreamed of a grand illusion[00:02:54]
It's my Tenement Symphony in four flats[00:02:59]
