Tom Lehrer RIP

Post by Folkestoneclaret » Mon Jul 28, 2025 5:36 pm

Sad to see Tom Lehrer go but he lived to a fine age. Happily he didn't live out his brilliant 1960s cold war satirical song "We will all go together when we go". Let's hope it stays that way...

Oh, we will all char together when we char
And let there be no moaning of the bar
Just sing out a Te Deum
When you see that ICBM
And the party will be come-as-you-are

I’ve got a two disc cd of Tom Lehrer’s songs and they’re very funny…I suppose you’ve got to br pretty old to have heard of him & I’m pretty old…RIP Tom!
