[ti:Poisoning Pigeons In The Park] [ar:Tom Lehrer] [al:In Concert] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Poisoning Pigeons In The Park - Tom Lehrer [00:04.64]I'd like to take you now on wings [00:06.62]Of song as it were [00:07.71] [00:08.77]And try and help you forget perhaps for a while [00:11.25] [00:11.84]Your drab wretched lives [00:13.41] [00:15.93]Here is a song all about springtime in general [00:19.04]And in particular about one of the many delightful [00:20.73]Pastimes that the coming of spring affords us all [00:23.98] [00:31.23]Spring is here [00:32.55]A-suh-puh-ring is here [00:33.86] [00:34.79]Life is skittles and life is beer [00:37.27] [00:37.88]I think the loveliest time [00:39.86]Of the year is the spring [00:41.58]I do don't you 'Course you do [00:43.85] [00:44.91]But there's one thing [00:45.95]That makes spring complete for me [00:47.60] [00:48.60]And makes every Sunday [00:50.65]A treat for me [00:53.24] [00:54.09]All the world seems in tune [00:57.48]On a spring afternoon [00:59.09]When we're poisoning pigeons in the park [01:01.30] [01:05.76]Every Sunday you'll see [01:07.56]My sweetheart and me [01:08.89]As we poison the pigeons in the park [01:11.64] [01:15.10]When they see us coming [01:16.60]The birdies all try an hide [01:18.36] [01:19.39]But they still go for peanuts [01:21.12]When coated with cyanide [01:23.43] [01:24.18]The sun's shining bright [01:25.71]Everything seems all right [01:27.21]When we're poisoning pigeons in the park [01:29.94]La la la la di di di do do do [01:35.64] [01:37.16]We've gained notoriety [01:38.52]And caused much anxiety [01:40.23]In the Audubon Society [01:42.15]With our games [01:42.97] [01:43.54]They call it impiety [01:45.45]And lack of propriety [01:47.03]And quite a variety [01:48.71]Of unpleasant names [01:50.42]But it's not against any religion [01:53.73]To want to dispose of a pigeon [01:57.26] [01:58.57]So if Sunday you're free [02:02.67]Why don't you come with me [02:04.23]And we'll poison the pigeons in the park [02:06.55] [02:09.28]And maybe we'll do [02:10.64]In a squirrel or two [02:12.30]While we're poisoning pigeons in the park [02:15.39] [02:18.71]We'll murder them all [02:20.44]Amid laughter and merriment [02:22.00] [02:23.10]Except for the few [02:24.53]We take home to experiment [02:26.40] [02:27.44]My pulse will be quickening [02:28.94]With each drop of strych'nine [02:30.64]We feed to a pigeon [02:32.17]It just takes a smidging [02:33.77]To poison a pigeon in the park
