Biografía:
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.

My Home Town by Tom Lehrer
Verse 1:
C Am Dm7 G7
I really have a yen, to go back once again
C Am Dm7 G7
Back to the place where no-one wears a frown
F B7 C
To see once more those super special just plain folks
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7
In my home town
C Am Dm7 G7
No fellow could ignore, that little girl next door
C Am Dm7 G7
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown
F B7 C
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7
In my home town
Refrain 1:
C C7 F7
I remember Dan, the druggist on the corner
C7 C
He was never mean or ornery, he was swell
F7 Am
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well
C A+ D7 G7
And sprinkled just a bit over each banana split
Verse 2:
C Am Dm7 G7
The guy that taught us math, who never took a bath
C Am Dm7 G7
Acquired a certain measure of renown
F B7 C
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7
In my home town
C Am Dm7 G7
That fellow was no fool, who taught us Sunday School
C Am Dm7 G7
And neither was our kindly Parson Brown
F B7 C
[line omitted to avoid prosecution under Communications Decency Act]
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G7
In my home town
Refrain 2:
C C7 F7
I remember Sam, he was the village idiot
C7 C
Although it seems a pity it was so
F7 Am
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow
C A+ D7 G7
And nothing could be done, because he was the Mayor's son
C Am Dm7 G7
The guy that took a knife, and monogrammed his wife
C Am Dm7 G7
Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown
F B7 C
Oh, yes, indeed, the people there are just plain folks
D7 G7 C / C#dim / Dm7 / G
In my home town
Ahhhh... memories! Sounds just like my own home-town...
