# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

POISONING PIGEONS IN THE PARK
words and music by Tom Lehrer
Spring is here, spring is here. Life is skittles, and life is beer. I think the loveliest time of the year Is the spring, I do, don't you? Course you do! But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me And makes every Sunday a treat for me:
All the world seems in tune On a spring afternoon When we're poisoning pigeons in the park. Every Sunday you'll see My sweetheart and me As we poison the pigeons in the park
When they see us coming The birdies all try an' hide, But they still go for peanuts When coated with cyan-hide. The sun's shining bright, Everything seems all right When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We've gained notoriety And caused much anxiety In the Audubon Society With our games. They call it impiety And lack of propriety And quite a variety of unpleasant names. But it's not against any religion To want to dispose of a pigeon.
So, if Sunday you're free, Why don't you come with me, And we'll poison the pigeons in the park. And maybe we'll do In a squirrel or two While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment, Except for the few we take home to experiment. My pulse will be quickenin' With each drop of strychnine We feed to a pigeon (It just takes a smidgin) To poison a pigeon in the park.
# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Oedipus Rex

OEDIPUS REX
words and music by Tom Lehrer
From the Bible to the popular song There's one theme that we find right along. Of all ideals they hail as good The most sublime is Motherhood. There was a man, though, who, it seems, Once carried this ideal to extremes. He loved his mother and she loved him, And yet his story is rather grim:
There once was a man named Oedipus Rex. You may have heard about his odd complex. His name appears in Freud's index, 'Cause he loved his mother.
His rivals used to say quite a bit That as a monarch he was most unfit, But still and all they had to admit That he loved his mother.
Yes, he loved his mother Like no other, His daughter was his sister, and his son was his brother. One thing on which you can depend is: He sure knew who a boy's best friend is.
When he found what he had done, He tore his eyes out one by one. A tragic end for a loyal son Who loved his mother.
So be sweet and kind to mother, now and then have a chat, Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat, But maybe you had better let it go at that, Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex, And you may end up like Oedipus --- I'd rather marry a duck-billed pledipus Than end up like old Oedipus Rex.
# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Political Action Song

​An earlier version of this song, entitled "The Song of the NSA Warriors" (NSA was the National Student Association) was revised and retitled "Political Action Song" for use in the Hexagon Club show, performed March 1, 2, & 3, 1956, at the Holton-Arms School auditorium in Washington, D.C. The show was a benefit for the American Cancer Society.
POLITICAL ACTION SONG
words and music by Tom Lehrer
Now when it comes to anything political, We're int'rested, we're militant, we're critical. Though it's not quite evident Who it is we represent, We take stands and issue statements by the score. Ev'ry candidate, we know, Though he won't admit it' s so, Would give anything to be the one we're for, we're for, Would give anything to be the one we're for.
And when we find an issue, we just dote on it. We hold meetings, we discuss it, and we vote on it. We don't let it get our goat. We just put it to a vote, And in this way any problem can be solved. What we vote on, we confess, Doesn't matter, more or less. What's important is the principle involved, involved, What's important is the principle involved.
We know that there's a bit of true adult in us, That Congress makes no move without consultin' us. We are fighting for the truth With the energy of youth And the singleness of purpose that we share. We look down upon the crowds With our heads up in the clouds And our feet planted firmly in midair, mid air, And our feet planted firmly in midair.
# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Relativity

RELATIVITY
words by Tom Lehrer music: "Personality" by James Van Heusen from the movie The Road to Utopia
Optional verse (tune: "Massa's in the Cold Cold Ground")
Einstein was the first who stated -- He was the first who dared -- Mass and energy are related By E equals m c squared.
When Isaac Newton wrote The laws that we all quote, It's now extremely apparent that he Neglected to consider Relativity.
What focused our attention On the fourth dimension? We 'd been doing so well with just three. 'Twas Mister Einstein's brain child, Relativity.
And who would think And who'd forecast That bodies shrink When they go fast? It makes old Isaac's theory Look w-e-o-ry.
And so if you are near When atom bombs appear, And you're reduced to a pile of debris, You 'll know it's largely due to Relativity.
In The Physical Revue this song was preceded by the following dialogue:
| Student: | May I ask you a question, sir? |
| Professor: | Certainly |
| Student: | Well, would you say that a relativistic approach to the non-synthetic aspects of Newtonian mechanics is useful in formulating a comprehensive ontology for the metaphysical ramifications of these essentially empirical manifestations? |
| Professor: | Ummmm.... No! |
| Student: | Well, what would you say? |
| Professor: | I would say that a relativistic approach to the non-synthetic aspects of Newtonian mechanics is not useful in formulating a comprehensive ontology for the metaphysical ramifications of these essentially empirical manifestations. But I do think this course underestimates the importance of relativity, and I would like you to hear a few words in its behalf. |

POLAROID PHOTOGRAPHY SONG (long version)
written for the September 1980 Polaroid Sales Meeting
words by Tom Lehrer
tune: "The Major General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance (Gilbert and Sullivan)
Of uses for our photographs you'll find a multiplicity, From quality control to advertising and publicity,
Computer graphics, diagnostics, also radiometry, Endoscopy and dentistry and microdensitometry,
And micrometalography and paper chromatography, Spectrography, thermography, and color scintillography,
For studies biomedical and studies anatomical, [soft] For bodies microscopic and [loud] For bodies astronomical!
| CHORUS: | For bodies microscopic and for bodies astronomical, For bodies microscopic and for bodies astronomical, For bodies microscopic and for bodies astronomic-omical! |
Geology, oncology, pathology, myology, Astrology --- astrology? --- forget it, my apology --- With spectroscopes, oscilloscopes, and cam'ras ultrasonical, There 's hardly any science that is missing from this chronicle.
| CHORUS: | With spectroscopes, oscilloscopes, and cam'ras ultrasonical, There's hardly any science that is missing from this chronicle. |
Acoustical holography, computerized tomography, Diffraction crystallography and autoradiography. In short, in ev'ry field from cosmic rays to choreography There's bound to be a way of using Polaroid photography.
| CHORUS: | In short, in every field from cosmic rays to choreography There's bound to be a way of using Polaroid photography. |
[Getting faster and faster:]
In short, in ev'ry field from cosmic rays to choreography There's bound to be a way of using Polaroid photography.
| CHORUS: | In short, in every field from cosmic rays to choreography There's bound to be a way of using Polaroid photography. |
[recorded at Falmouth, Massachusetts, with the chorus and orchestra of the College Light Opera Company, conducted by Bill Tyler]
POLAROID PHOTOGRAPHY SONG (short version)

# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Post-Thanksgiving Hymn

POST-THANKSGIVING HYMN
words by Tom Lehrer tune: "We Gather Together" (trad. Dutch)
written for and used on the November 25, 1989, broadcast of Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company of the Air
We gathered together to ask the Lord's blessing For turkey and dressing And cranberry sauce. It was slightly distressing, But now we're convalescing, So sing praises to his name, And remember to floss.
Our nearest and dearest, we don't mind confessing. It's sort of depressing To have them so near. Our feelings suppressing, We concentrate on fressing, (alt: We're sweetly acquiescing) As loudly we proclaim That we're glad they were here.
We gathered together and got the Lord's blessing. (Of course we're just guessing, 'Cause how can you tell?) Our stomachs are bloating, Our kidneys nearly floating, Hellos are very nice, But goodbyes can be swell.

# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/S-N (Snore, Sniff, and Sneeze)

S-N (SNORE, SNIFF, AND SNEEZE)
(from The Electric Company)
words and music by Tom Lehrer
| VERSE: | Like a rooster loves a hen, Like a lion loves his den, Like Barbie loves Ken, I love to do things that begin with "S-N": |
I love to sneeze — (sneeze) [spoken] Pardon me, please — (sneeze) I like to sniffle, it really feels nice. One handkerchief'll Just never suffice. But, brother, watch out for the breeze When I sneeze — (sneeze — sneeze — sneeze)
I love to sniff — (sniff) [spoken] Just take a whiff — (sniff) I also like snarling, it feels good to me. Snarling is darling, I'm sure you'll agree. But I'm even happier if I can sniff — (sniff) And sneeze — (sneeze)
I love to snore — (snore) [spoken] It's more like a roar — (snore) I like to snooze, I like resting my head. I take off my shoes, And I snuggle in bed. (Alt.: And lie down on my bed) Sometimes I just lie on the floor And snore — (snore) And sniff — (sniff) And sneeze — (sneeze — sneeze — sneeze)
Sometimes I just like to snicker "tee-hee" Or snub any snob who is snotty to me. And whenever I have a few moments to spend, [spoken] I can snoop on a neighbor or snitch on a friend! But much more than any of these I love to snore. . . . and to sniff. . . . and to sneeze.
(snore — sniff — sneeze, repeated while fading out)
# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/No Rice

NO RICE (It's Gotta Just Happen)
words and music by Tom Lehrer (written for the 1983 production at UCSC of the musical Park)
No rice, no flowers, Friends I can't abide'll
Give me no bridal Showers. No invitations To our relations, I wanna catch 'em nappin' -- Oh no --- It's gotta just happen.
No fake good wishes, No in-laws dispatching Hundreds of matching Dishes. No electric toasters, No silver coasters, In elegant fancy wrappin' -- Oh no --- It's gotta just happen.
And when the time is right -- if ever We'll turn to each other some night -- maybe never No scenes dramatic, No operatic Duets, Just "Hey, Whaddaya say? [spoken] Let's! So as I've often stated,
If I'm gonna wed, it Won't be premedit -- ated . I'm not sure it's going to happen, I'm not so sure I want it to happen, But if it happens It's gotta just happen Just (*) Like That!
(*) alternate ending replaces these 3 lines with:
It's gotta just happen That's how it's gotta happen to me.
This song was written in 1973 for a student production, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, of the musical PARK. It was one of several interpolations by Tom Lehrer in the score of the original musical. The latter, with book and lyrics by Paul Cherry and music by Lance Mulcahy, opened on Broadway in 1970 and closed after five performances.

# Shell v. Mississippi/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
* Concurring Opinion Marshall
The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. To the extent that the Mississippi Supreme Court, 554 So.2d 887, relied on the "especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel" aggravating factor in affirming petitioner's death sentence, its decision is reversed. See Maynard v. Cartwright, 486 U.S. 356, 108 S.Ct. 1853, 100 L.Ed.2d 372 (1988). Although the trial court in this case used a limiting instruction to define the "especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel" factor, that instruction is not constitutionally sufficient. See Godfrey v. Georgia, 446 U.S. 420, 100 S.Ct. 1759, 64 L.Ed.2d 398 (1980); Cartwright v. Maynard, 822 F.2d 1477, 1489-1491 (CA10 1987) (en banc), aff'd, 486 U.S. 356, 108 S.Ct. 1853, 100 L.Ed.2d 372 (1988). The case is remanded to the Mississippi Supreme Court for further consideration in light of Clemons v. Mississippi, 494 U.S. 738, 110 S.Ct. 1441, 108 L.Ed.2d 725 (1990).

# Sonnet 80 (Spenser)

Sonnet LXXX
AFTER so long a race as I haue run  Through Faery land, which those six books compile  giue leaue to rest me, being halfe fordonne,  and gather to my selfe new breath awhile. When as a steed refreshed after toyle,  out of my prison I will breake anew:  and stoutly will that second worke assoyle,  with strong endeuour and attention dew. Till then giue leaue to me in pleasant mew,  to sport my muse and sing my loues sweet praise:  the contemplation of whose heauenly hew,  my spirit to an higher pitch will rayse. But let her prayses yet be low and meane,  fit for the handmayd of the Faery Queene.

##### Sonnet LXXXI

FAYRE is my love, when her fayre golden heares, With the loose wynd ye waving chance to marke: Fayre when the rose in her red cheekes appears, Or in her eyes the fyre of love does sparke. Fayre when her brest lyke a rich laden barke, With pretious merchandize she forth doth lay: Fayre when that cloud of pryde which oft doth dark Her goodly light with smiles she drives away, But fayrest she, when so she doth display The gate with pearles and rubyes richly dight: Throgh which her words so wise do make their way To beare the message of her gentle spright. The rest be works of natures wonderment, But this the worke of harts astonishment.
