Lyrics Poisoning Pigeons In The Park - Live - Tom Lehrer
I'd
like
to
take
you
now
on
wings
of
song
as
it
were,
And
try
and
help
you
forget,
perhaps,
for
a
while,
Your
drab
wretched
lives.
Here
is
a
song
all
about
springtime
in
general,
And
in
particular
about
one
of
the
many
delightful
Pastimes
that
the
coming
of
spring
affords
us
all:
Spring
is
here
A-suh-puh-ring
is
here
Life
is
skittles
and
life
is
beer
I
think
the
loveliest
time
Of
the
year
is
the
spring
I
do,
don't
you?
'Course
you
do
But
there's
one
thing
That
makes
spring
complete
for
me
And
makes
every
Sunday
A
treat
for
me
All
the
world
seems
in
tune
On
a
spring
afternoon
When
we're
poisoning
pigeons
in
the
park
Every
Sunday
you'll
see
My
sweetheart
and
me
As
we
poison
the
pigeons
in
the
park
When
they
see
us
coming
The
birdies
all
try
an'
hide
But
they
still
go
for
peanuts
When
coated
with
cyanide
The
sun's
shining
bright
Everything
seems
all
right
When
we're
poisoning
pigeons
in
the
park
We've
gained
notoriety
And
caused
much
anxiety
In
the
Audubon
Society
With
our
games
They
call
it
impiety
And
lack
of
propriety
And
quite
a
variety
Of
unpleasant
names
But
it's
not
against
any
religion
To
want
to
dispose
of
a
pigeon
So
if
Sunday
you're
free
Why
don't
you
come
with
me
And
we'll
poison
the
pigeons
in
the
park
And
maybe
we'll
do
In
a
squirrel
or
two
While
we're
poisoning
pigeons
in
the
park
We'll
murder
them
all
Amid
laughter
and
merriment
Except
for
the
few
We
take
home
to
experiment
My
pulse
will
be
quickenin'
With
each
drop
of
strych'nine
We
feed
to
a
pigeon
(It
just
takes
a
smidgin!)
To
poison
a
pigeon
in
the
park
