Description
The subversive songs of Tom Lehrer, the sardonic piano-wielding fugitive from Harvard, have corrupted generations of American citizens since he first started recording and performing within the 1950s. His uniquely depraved wit has been forced again on an unsuspecting public’ by way of Tom Foolery, the stage revue in line with his ever-trenchant statement of the American scene. This new songbook, with old favorites unavailable for years in addition to never-published songs, is essentially the most comprehensive ever assembled. It accommodates the words, tunes, piano accompaniments, and guitar chords for these thirty-four classics:
