Nocturnal by Dave Benjoya

My name is Frederic Chopin you can call me fred
no one recognized my genius till i was dead*
i left my home in poland for gay paree
and now some silly brooklynite makes songs like me

benjoya he was born far across the atlantic
even when he's ba-roke he tries to be romantic
he can rock a nocturne like nobody i know can
except for maybe chopin — he's the go-to showman
cooler than a snowman, eating the coq au vin

*to give the tiniest nod to historical accuracy, Robert Schumann recognized Chopin's genius while he was alive. And while Chopin did in fact live in Paris, he was usually broke and probably ate more beans than coq au vin.
