About this product

Product Information

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? Wemher Von Braun We Will All Go Together When We Go I Got It from Agnes Silent E The Vatican Rag

  • The Best Darn Song Book Ever!!!

    Tom Lehrer, long one of my father's favorites, has been one of my favorites since I was a child. His witty humor, fantastic piano playing and clever lyrics, though typically politically incorrect, still run through my head from time to time! This song book featuring piano music, lyrics and guitar chords for his songs is always a big hit at family gatherings! My personal favorite of all the songs in this book is the, "Irish Ballad." The lyrics are, well, disturbing, to say the least, and I won't tell you the punch line. I will give you the first two verses of this tale of a young Irish lass who, one by one, did in her entire family. "About a maid I'll sing a song, Sing rickety-tickety-tin, About a maid I'll sing a song, Who didn't have her fam'ly long. Not only did she do them ...

  • Too Many Songs

    Tom Lehrer's music is excellence in lyrical and melodic form. I have longed to play and sing as he did, and with this book of sheet music this can be made reality. Sometimes obscene, offensive and most often downright silly, his music also curiously borders on intellectual and inspirational. The delightfully disturbing nature of the music is only enhanced by Ronald Searle's beautifully morbid illustrations including dead babies, atomic disasters, and countless skulls. The combination is perfect; humorous yet utilitary. Highly recommended.

  • Lots of fun

    Years ago I had this Tom Lehrer collection and somehow lost it. The songs are so much fun and remind me of the "old days." Good arrangements.

  • Hilarious

    I remember listening to Lehrer on lps as a teenager & thinking him one of the funniest singers/pianists/ in the world. Now I can play his music!!!
