Lyrics

Mozart's a thief
But he isn't alone
Alice Cooper got copied by Joey Ramone
The Beach Boys gave Chuck
That surfin' feelin'
And when Dylan's freewheelin'
Ya know he's freestealin'
Some down under boys write a hit song
Thirty years later
Their copywrite's wrong
A Girl Scout ditty in '34
The writer claims it's God's
Doesn't want more
There's only so many chords
Are you suing the Bard for his words?
I hope you don't have a hit
You'll surely get slapped with a writ!
Some larrikin got hold of the copywrite
Four million dollars in a courtroom fight
Same chords, different story told
Write a song, lawyers take the gold
Did you hear the Kookaburras laugh
As the dogs ran them up a tree
Did you hear something in the refrain
Something so common that it's public domain
There's only so many chords
Are you suing the Bard for his words?
I hope you don't have a hit
You'll surely get slapped with a writ
Slap me with a Writ !
Led Zeppelin was the worst from the first
Already living with Leadbelly's curse
They owe every bluesman in the land
And the devil owns the rights
To Mr. Johnson's left hand
Warner's sued Fogerty
For self plagiarizing
And Geffen tried Neil
For not self-realizing
And the Bluesmen keep
Playing those songs so sad
They give to each other
Keep taking from Trad
The Eagles tussled with Tull
Over Hotel California
And Jimmy took a page
From Randy California
If your song is less than 4 chords
I'm here to warn ya'
In the end it was a blow
They used a riff we all know
And they're climbing the
Stairway to the courthouse
