Tom Lehrer
I laughed so hard, I would almost gag
while I listened to your ditty “The Vatican Rag”.
Why was a Harvard PhD mathematician
performing on stage as a musician?
You tickled the ivories on your piano
while you let your humorous lyrics flow.
With your witty comments, you put on a show.
You were a master at sociological satire
until the day you would retire.
