I love my friends and they love me
We're just as close as we can be
And just because we really care
Whatever we get, we share!
I got it from agnes
She got it from jim
We all agree it must have been him
Louise who gave it to him
Now she got it from harry
Who got it from marie
And ev'rybody knows that marie
Got it from me
Giles got it from daphne
She got it from joan
Who picked it up in county cork
A-kissin' the blarney stone
Pierre gave it to shiela
Who must have brought it there
He got it from francois and jacques
Aha, lucky pierre!
Max got it from edith
Who gets it ev'ry spring
She got it from her daddy
Who just gives her ev'rything
She then gave it to daniel
Whose spaniel has it now
Our dentist even got it
And we're still wondering how
But I got it from agnes
Or maybe it was sue
Or millie or billie or gillie or willie
It doesn't matter who
It might have been at the pub
Or at the club, or in the loo
And if you will be my friend, then I might ...
(mind you, I said "might" ...)
Give it to you!
Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer) è stato un cantautore, comico, pianista e matematico statunitense nato a New York nel 1920. Conosciuto per le sue brevi canzoni umoristiche, spesso satiriche e con testi intelligenti, ha raggiunto la popolarità negli anni '50 e '60. Le sue canzoni, caratterizzate da un ritmo incalzante e una melodia orecchiabile, affrontavano temi controversi come la guerra, la politica e la religione, sempre con un tocco di ironia e sarcasmo. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "The Elements", "Werner Herzog's Last Movie" e "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Lehrer ha pubblicato diversi album, tra cui "Tom Lehrer Sings" (1959) e "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" (1965). Oltre alla musica, Lehrer si è dedicato all'insegnamento della matematica presso l'Università di Harvard. La sua carriera musicale è stata interrotta negli anni '70, ma le sue canzoni continuano ad essere apprezzate per la loro intelligenza e il loro humour pungente.
