A lovely little ditty

[robinbloke]

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 ev'ry Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry 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,
Ev'rything 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 strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgin!
To poison a pigeon in the park.

I remember a sketch by Alexiei Sayle where a man in an immaculate tuxedo exuded the virtues of punching puffins, pissing on penguins, and poking pelicans; whereupon at the end the aforementioned defilement would happen to him. It seems that you have found the remaining 'p'

Tom Lehrer is a funny guy, try to download some of his songs if you can.

Strange you should say that...

...given that I've just bought the box set 'The Remains of Tom Lehrer' and have been listening to it constantly for three days now.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember
Say it's me that you wish to dismember
