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.

I always will remember twas a year ago November
C A7 D G
I went out to hunt some deer on a morning bright and clear
C C7 F Fm
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow
C G7 C
Two game wardens seven hunters and a cow
C G7
I was in no mood to trifle I took down my trusty rifle
C A7 D G
Went out to stalk my prey what a haul I made that day
C C7 F Fm
I tied them to my fender and I drove them home somehow
C G7 C
Two game wardens seven hunters and a cow
Em B7
The law was very firm it took away my permit
Em Em B7
The worst punishment I ever endured
Em B7
It turned out there was a reason cows were out of season
Em Em* B7 G
And one of the hunters wasn't insured
C G7
People ask me how I do it and I say there's nothing to it
C A7 D G
You just stand there looking cute and when something moves you shoot
C C7 F Fm
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now
C G7 C Fm C
Two game wardens seven hunters and a pure-bred guernsey cow
