Too Many Songs

About Too Many Songs: With not enough drawings by Ronald Searle

Words and music from Tom Lehrer's three much-loved record collections.

This comprehensive collection of his songs includes the words and music (including piano accompaniments and guitar chords) of most of the songs from his record albums Songs by Tom Lehrer, An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer, and That Was the Year That Was as well as additional songs. All-time favourites include: The Irish Ballad, The Old Dope Peddler, The Wild West is Where I Want to Be, The Masochism Tango, The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz, She's My Girl, We Will All Go Together When We Go, The Vatican Rag and many more.

The subversive songs of Tom Lehrer, the mathematics teacher and sage who gave us Be Prepared, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park and other family favourites, have corrupted millions of people and been totally ignored by millions more.
