The Hunting Song-Tom Lehrer

[ti:The Hunting Song] [ar:Tom Lehrer] [al:In Concert] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Hunting Song - Tom Lehrer [00:00.58]Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least [00:03.98]One item in the newspapers about somebody [00:07.08]Who has shot somebody else [00:08.38] [00:09.39]Under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat [00:12.87]Perhaps maybe a large flesh colored squirrel At any rate [00:28.56] [00:29.10]It seems to me that this marks an encouraging [00:31.17]New trend in the field of blood sports [00:33.23] [00:34.32]And deserves a new type of hunting song [00:37.42]Which I present here with [00:39.00] [00:42.64]I always will remember [00:44.55]It was a year ago November [00:46.51]I went out to hunt some deer [00:48.62]On a mornin' bright and clear [00:50.24] [00:50.78]I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow [00:53.93] [00:54.44]Two game wardens seven hunters and a cow [00:57.14] [00:58.73]I was in no mood to trifle [01:00.49]I took down my trusty rifle [01:02.03] [01:02.68]And went out to stalk my prey [01:04.71]What a haul I made that day [01:06.25] [01:06.80]I tied them to my fender [01:08.45]And I drove them home somehow [01:10.75]Two game wardens seven hunters and a cow [01:13.74] [01:14.62]The law was very firm it [01:16.97]Took away my permit [01:18.90]The worst punishment I ever endured [01:21.27] [01:22.41]It turned out there was a reason [01:24.66]Cows were out of season [01:26.94]And one of the hunters wasn't insured [01:29.37] [01:30.21]People ask me how I do it [01:32.64]And I say There's nothin' to it [01:34.63]You just stand there lookin' cute [01:36.64]And when something moves you shoot [01:38.65] [01:39.49]And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now [01:43.38] [01:44.53]Two game wardens seven hunters [01:48.19]And a pure bred Guernsey cow
