[info] ferrocene 'Thomas L'

    There once was a man named Thomas L
    And he condemned me to a life of hell.
    His lyrics ring just like a bell
    Inside my noggin.

    His rivals used to say quite a bit that,
    as a singer, he was most unfit, but
    Through it all, his songs, they just won't quit
    Inside my noggin.

    Now Gilbert and Sullivan were quite a team,
    Their satire (in its day it) made quite a scene, but
    Major General's replaced by one that's much more keen
    Inside my noggin.

    Trephining's not in fashion anymore.
    As a surgical procedure, it is just a bore.
    Make a hole in my head that I hadn't heretofore
    Inside my noggin!

    So grab your bit and grab your brace,
    Aim its point just above my face
    Tom's songs still play! I can't stand it anymore!
    Get 'em out of my noggin!

[info] cubehouselj The rambling song

I always will remember,
When I became the member,
of my own Community!
What a fab opportunity

I rambled on for ages and never with an error,
About Pigeons,
Hunting squirrels,
and Tom Lehrer.

I had no time for TV,
I got down my trusty LP,
From my mother's dusty loft,
Oh how much I coughed...

I rambled on for ages and never with an error,
About tangos,
Armagedon,
and Tom Lehrer.

Oh, the music was amazing,
with the intelligent phrasing,
A model of true art, you must agree.
The rhymes were just so clever!
I find I'll smile whenever,
I hear those wit filled songs. Guarantee!

People ask me, "How's he do it?"
And I say, "You must admit it,
There isn't and never be,
A wit as sharp as he."

So, I rambled on for ages and never with an error,
About Boy scouts,
Ancient incest,
and the wit that was, Tom Lehrer!

[info] ferrocene  That old Tom Lehrer

    When the shades of night are falling,
    Comes a fellow nobody knows
    It's that old Tom Lehrer
    Spreading satire wherever he goes.

    In the evenings, you will find him,
    All around your neighborhood
    On LPs of old Tom Lehrer
    With discontent for the public good.

    He gives the kids M-P-3's
    Because he takes the dare
    That today's young, innocent faces
    Will be tomorrow's Molière

    Tom's the light to all your troubles
    Tom's the lamp to all distress
    Tom is that old satirist
    With his re-cor-ded un-ha-ha-a-py-ness.		 [info] ferrocene
