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.

C A7 D7 G7
Spring is here a-suh-puh-ring is here
C A7 D7 G7
Life is skittles and life is beer
Dm7 G7 C G7
I think the loveliest time of the year
C A7 D7 G7
Is the spring I do don't you of course you do
Dm G7 C
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
D7 G G7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me
C Cmaj7 C6 C
All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
C G7
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Dm F
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me
G7 C
As we poison the pigeons in the park
Fm Am
When they see us coming the birdies all try and hide
D7 G7
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide
C Cmaj7
The sun's shining bright
C6 C
Everything seems all right
D7 G7 C Am
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
F G C Am F G
La la dum de da da da doo deedeedee
G7 Cmaj7 C6
We've gained notoriety and caused much anxiety
G7 Cmaj7 C6
In the Audubon Society with our games
A7 Dmaj7 D6
They call it impiety and lack of propriety
A7 D
And quite a variety of unpleasant names
D7 G
But it's not against any religion
D7 G7
To want to dispose of a pigeon
C Cmaj7 C6 C
So if Sunday you're free why don't you come with me
C G7
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park
Dm F
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two
G7 C
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Fm Am
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment
D7 G7
C Except for the few we take home to experiment
C Cmaj7 C6 C
My pulse will be quickenin' with each drop of strych-a-nin'
D7 G7
We feed to a pigeon
D7 G7
It just takes a smidgen
D7 G7 C
To poison a pigeon in the park
