And other great lyrics.

New Math!

        New-new-new Math!

It's so simple.

So very simple.

That only a child can do it!

"Ah, yes! I hear you say. It's so simple    -   but can you do it in
base 6?
Base eight is just like Base 10  -  if you are missing two thumbs!

The city streets are really quite a thrill,

So plagiarize! Let no one else's work evade your eyes! Remember why the good
Lord made your eyes, and plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize (only remember
please always to call it please, "research").

It seems that there are quite a few other Lehrer fans on this ML <g>. I think
that my favorite two have to be the Elements (done to Gilbert & Sullivan), and
Clementine, probably his best tour de force. Mozart,
Be-bop, and Gilbert & Sullivan (again) all in one tune - fantastic!!!

I'm partial to "The Irish Balad" on the strength of a lovely young thing of my
acquaintance's singing ability. "Be Prepared" brings back memories of my days
as an Explorer Scout. And that's just two songs off of "Tom Lehrer Revisited".
And don't forget the patter introducing every song: "I don't want you to think
I have to do
<emphasis>this</emphasis> for a living. Why I could be making, oh,
$3000 a year just teaching <audienceLaughsItselfSick)".

It's all funny and all witty.
