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.

G7C Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun G7CG7C A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience G7CA7 Call him a Nazi he wont even frown DmCG7C Nazi schmazi says Wernher von Braun
B7Em Dont say that hes hypocritical B7Em Say rather that hes apolitical G7CA7 Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down DmCG7C Thats not my department says Wernher von Braun
G7C Some have harsh words for this man of renown G7CG7C But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude G7CA7 Like the widows and cripples in old London town DmCG7C Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun
B7Em You too may be a big hero B7Em Once youve learned to count backwards to zero G7CA7 In German or English I know how to count down DmCG7C And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
