At the king’s grand table I bow, then I grin One hand on the cadence One hand in the tin You hear the old menace That famous little knock I’m counting by cravings While I pocket the box Now hush in the hall Don’t look at my sleeve I came for the music And sweets I retrieve Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy I keep it too soon Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy Now who’s acting rude? I’m serious, noble With sugar on my breath The duke wants devotion I want what’s left I glide past the servants Like “pardon, your grace” Then three little wrappers Go missing in place He wrote for the thunder I shop for the gold A king gets his banquet I get mine to hold Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy I keep it too soon Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy Now who’s acting rude? If virtue had manners I’d still take a bite One note for the kingdom Three sweets for the night Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy I’m gone with the loot Beethovens fifth symphony (boom boom boom boom) Beethovens fifth candy The court knows I do
