[00:00.00]Poisoning Pigeons In The Park - Tom Lehrer
[00:07.80]Spring is here
[00:08.98]A suh puh ring is here
[00:11.37]Life is skittles and life is beer
[00:14.67]I think the loveliest time
[00:16.61]Of the year is the spring
[00:18.79]I do don't you 'Course you do
[00:22.00]But there's one thing
[00:23.07]That makes spring complete for me
[00:26.04]And makes every Sunday
[00:28.14]A treat for me
[00:31.68]All the world seems in tune
[00:34.79]On a spring afternoon
[00:36.57]When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
[00:39.78]Every Sunday you'll see
[00:41.66]My sweetheart and me
[00:43.20]As we poison the pigeons in the park
[00:46.96]When they see us coming
[00:49.03]The birdies all try an hide
[00:51.65]But they still go for peanuts
[00:53.76]When coated with cyanide
[00:56.66]The sun's shining bright
[00:58.33]Everything seems all right
[00:59.70]When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
[01:08.86]We've gained notoriety
[01:10.51]And caused much anxiety
[01:12.38]In the Audubon Society
[01:14.24]With our games
[01:15.96]They call it impiety
[01:18.05]And lack of propriety
[01:19.85]And quite a variety
[01:21.36]Of unpleasant names
[01:23.50]But it's not against any religion
[01:27.01]To want to dispose of a pigeon
[01:32.42]So if Sunday you're free
[01:37.14]Why don't you come with me
[01:38.69]And we'll poison the pigeons in the park
[01:42.36]And maybe we'll do
[01:43.84]In a squirrel or two
[01:45.77]While we're poisoning pigeons in the park
[01:50.06]We'll murder them all
[01:51.82]Amid laughter and merriment
[01:54.51]Except for the few
[01:56.11]We take home to experiment
[01:59.22]My pulse will be quickenin'
[02:00.87]With each drop of strych'nine
[02:02.66]We feed to a pigeon
[02:04.17](It just takes a smidgin )
[02:06.03]To poison a pigeon in the park
