Sinfonia Inconclusa
Piero
Unfinished Symphony
On a cliff by the coast,
That the sea beats night and day,
Many fish gathered,
To rehearse the symphony.
The director fish,
Wearing little glasses,
With baton and tuning fork,
Started the show.
(tatatata tatatata tatatata ta ta ta ta)
An octopus with eight hands,
Banging on a pair of pianos,
His dad with mastery,
Sets the rhythm on drums.
(racatatapum racatatapum racatatapum pum pum pum pum) (repeat)
A seal plays the flute,
At the top of the rock,
A sawfish below,
Scratches the double bass.
(bombombom bombombom bombombom bom bom bom bom) (repeat)
A school of sardines,
Displaying celestial figures,
A bunch of silver sides,
Raise the trumpets,
(tatatata tatatata tatatata ta ta ta ta) (repeat)
The crab sprawls out,
The strings of the guitar fish,
Meanwhile the hammerhead shark,
Punishes the cymbals.
(piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz)
An old fish tries to tune her lyre,
While a crooked flounder,
Plays the harp sideways.
(blamblamblam blamblamblam blamblamblam blam blam blam blam) (repeat)
The mustached catfish blows,
A very pointed piccolo,
And nearby the shark,
Plays the trombone.
(popopopom popopopom popopopom pom pom pom pom) (repeat)
A row of dolphins,
Attacks the violins,
A salmon with his viola,
Remains in the cauldron.
(yinyinyin yinyinyin yinyinyin yin yin yin yin) (repeat)
A chubby turtle,
Blows the clarinet,
While the jellyfish,
Practice mouthpiece.
(mmm mmm mmm m m m m) (repeat)
Suddenly a huge wave,
A great hurricane wind,
Sweeps away the whole orchestra,
Instruments and fish.
This was not a tidal wave,
Nor was it a cyclone,
It was the great deaf whale,
That ended the show.
Let's take advantage, guys, the whale is gone!
Let's see, let's see, let's see the drums!
(racatatapum racatatapum racatatapum pum pum pum pum)
The double bass!
(bombombom bombombom bombombom bom bom bom bom)
The trumpet!
(tatatata tatatata tatatata ta ta ta ta)
Cymbals!
(piz piz piz piz piz piz piz piz)
The harp!
(blamblamblam blamblamblam blamblamblam blam blam blam blam)
Trombone!
(popopopom popopopom popopopom pom pom pom pom)
And the violins!
(yinyinyin yinyinyin yinyinyin yin yin yin yin)
Mouthpiece!
(mmm mmm mmm m m m m)
