Lotte Lenya’s grainy voice
May not be your teacher’s choice,
But Lotte Lenya as a stylist
Was certainly the Brecht and Weill-est.

Ferdinand Schubert (18 October 1794 - 26 February 1859) was an Austrian composer and school administrator. He was the brother of Franz Schubert.
The Schubert Circuit
Rise today and give a hand
To Franz’s brother Ferdinand,
Who took his little bro’s estate
And sold it at the going rate
To a firm that didn’t stint
To get the whole of it in print.
Be kind and helpful to each other,
Honor father and your mother,
And don’t forget your younger brother.
