Screaming Issue

You and Ludwig van Beethoven
And your Manhattan grandfather
Born on the 16th of December
Ludwig, grandfather and you

In Poland tanks were rolling
On Hudson Street it was snowing
Taxi ride to the hospital
Laboring by centimeters

Lucy, when I hear you crying
I don't know what I can do
You're so miserable
Lying next to me
I can't help you

Who were you in your last life?
How come you came at Christmas?
If you had waited longer
You might have been Lady Di's baby

Lucy, when I hear you crying
I don't know what I can do
You're so miserable
Lying next to me
I can't help you

It's New Year's Day, your first one
What is your resolution?
It's raining gray beginning
Here's to Ludwig, grandfather and you

You and Ludwig van Beethoven
And your Manhattan grandfather
Born on the 16th of December
Ludwig, grandfather and you
