The subversive songs of Tom Lehrer, the sardonic piano-wielding fugitive from Harvard, have corrupted generations of Americans since he first began recording and performing in the 1950s. His uniquely depraved wit has been forced again on an unsuspecting public' via Tom Foolery, the stage revue based on his ever-trenchant observation of the American scene. This new songbook, with old favorites unavailable for years as well as never-published songs, is the most comprehensive ever assembled. It contains the words, tunes, piano accompaniments, and guitar chords for these thirty-four classics: The Irish Ballad Fight Fiercely, Harvard! Be Prepared The Old Dope Peddler The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be I Wanna Go Back to Dixie Lobachevsky The Hunting Song I Hold Your Hand in Mine My Home Town L-Y When You Are Old and Gray The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz Poisoning Pigeons in the Park A Christmas Carol Bright College Days In Old Mexico She's My Girl The Elements The Masochism Tango National Brotherhood Week MLF Lullaby The Folk Song Army Smut Send the Marines New Math Pollution So Long, Mom Who's Next?
