Poisoning Pigeons In The Park Tab par Tom Lehrer

G         E7              A7      D7      
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
G       E7           A7      D7      
Life is skittles and life is beer.
G           D7        G           D7          G 
I think the loveliest time of the year is the 
spring.
     E7   A7         D7    
I do, Dont you? Course you do.
           Am                          G                 
But theres one thing that makes spring complete for me,
    A7                   D         D7    
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

        G                    
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
                                   D7      
When were poisoning pigeons in the park.
      Am                 
Every Sunday youll see
My sweetheart and me,
      D7                        G      
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

     C                       G                        
When they see us coming, the birdies all try anhide,
         A7                        D7                     
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
    G                     
The suns shining bright,
Everything seems all right,
          A7        D7             G      
When were poisoning pigeons in the park.

     D7                  
Weve gained notoriety,
    G                    
And caused much anxiety
       D7                
In the Audubon Society
         G       
With our games.
     E7                 
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
              A       
Of unpleasant names.
        A7                D       
But its not against any religion
   A7                   D7        
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

D7    G                   
So if Sunday youre free,
Why dont you come with me,
                                   D7      
And well poison the pigeons in the park.

    Am              
And maybe well do
In a squirrel or two,
           D7                       G      
While were poisoning pigeons in the park.

     C                    G                        
Well murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
   A7                       D7                    
Ex cept for the few we take home to experiment.
   G                       
My pulse will be quikenin
With each drop of strychnine
   A7        D7        
We feed to a pigeon.
   A7           D7         
It just takes a smidgen!
   A7       D7            G      D7    G 
To poison a pigeon in the park.
