RIP Tom Lehrer
He wrote many satirical and political songs.
Obituary. The lyrics of his songs are all freely available. Here's a parody of a verse from one of his songs...
Fight fiercely, Harvard!
"Fight, fight, fight!"
So said Trump in Butler, Penn.
Fight all the cuts which are not right
Show the world that you'll fight when
All around you others give up the fight.
Fight fake "anti-Semite" claims on the right
(fight Bibi!)
Sue that despot in each court, and
Fight Trump, fight!
Based on Tom Lehrer's "Fight fiercely" (audio).
Original words:
Fight fiercely, Harvard,
Fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.
How we shall celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea
(how jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field, and
Fight, fight, fight!




I grew up listening to Tom Lehrer. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Sue, I had never heard of Tom Lehrer until today.... Blessings 🙏
