Biography:
Thomas Andrew "Tom" Lehrer (born 9 April 1928) is an American singer-songwriter, satirist, pianist, and mathematician. He has lectured on mathematics and musical theater.
Before attending college, Lehrer graduated from the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut. As an undergraduate student at Harvard University, he began to write comic songs to entertain his friends, including Fight Fiercely, Harvard (1945). Those songs later became (in a joking reference to a leading scientific journal, The Physical Review) The Physical Revue.

G E7 A7 D7
Spring is here a-suh-puh-ring is here
G E7 A7 D7
Life is skittles and life is beer
G D7 G D7 G
I think the loveliest time of the year is the
spring.
E7 A7 D7
I do Dont you Course you do
Am G
But theres one thing that makes spring complete for me
A7 D D7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me
G
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon
D7
When were poisoning pigeons in the park
Am
Every Sunday youll see
My sweetheart and me
D7 G
As we poison the pigeons in the park
C G
When they see us coming the birdies all try anhide
A7 D7
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide
G
The suns shining bright
Everything seems all right
A7 D7 G
When were poisoning pigeons in the park
D7
Weve gained notoriety
G
And caused much anxiety
D7
In the Audubon Society
G
With our games
E7
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety
And quite a variety
A
Of unpleasant names
A7 D
But its not against any religion
A7 D7
To want to dispose of a pigeon
D7 G
So if Sunday youre free
Why dont you come with me
D7
And well poison the pigeons in the park
Am
And maybe well do
In a squirrel or two
D7 G
While were poisoning pigeons in the park
C G
Well murder them all amid laughter and merriment
A7 D7
Ex cept for the few we take home to experiment
G
My pulse will be quikenin
With each drop of strychnine
A7 D7
We feed to a pigeon
A7 D7
It just takes a smidgen
A7 D7 G D7 G
To poison a pigeon in the park
