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.

The Old Dope Peddler
by Tom Lehrer
C Bb7 A7
When the shades of night are falling,
Dm G7 C
Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows,
C#dim Dm
It's the old dope peddler,
C G7 C G7 c G7
Spreading joy wherever he goes.
C Bb7 A7
Ev'ry evening you will find him,
Dm G7 C
A-round our neighborhood.
C#dim Dm
It's the old dope peddler
C G7 c c7
Doing well by doing good.
F Em
He gives the kids free samples,
Dm C
Be-cause he knows full well
Dm G7 A7
That to-day's young innocent faces
D7 Dm7 G7
Will be to-morrow's clientele.
C Bb7 A7
Here's a cure for all your troubles,
Dm G7 C
Here's an end to all dis-tress.
C#dim Dm
It's the old dope peddler
C G7 C
With his powdered ha-happiness.
