Smut


I do have a cause though. it is obscenity. Im for it. unfortunately the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it owing to the nature of the laws as a matter of freedom
Peech and stifling of free expression and so on but we no whats really involved: dirty books are fun. thats all there is to it. but you cant get up in a court and say that I suppose. its sim
Matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the constitution unfortunately. anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days I have here a march for mi
Ts called...

Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I cant shut,
If its uncut,
And unsubt- le.

Ive never quibbled
If it was ribald,
I would devour where others merely nibbled.
As the judge remarked the day that he
Acquitted my aunt hortense,
To be smut
It must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance.

Por-
Nographic pictures I adore.
Indecent magazines galore,
I like them more
If theyre hard core.

(bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties,
Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!
More, more, Im still not satisfied!)

Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers,
Lurid, licentious, and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
(lets face it, I love slime.)

All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder,
For filth (Im glad to say) is in
The mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
(I could tell you things about peter pan,
And the wizard of oz, theres a dirty old man!)

I thrill
To any book like fanny hill,
And I suppose I always will,
If it is swill
And really fil
Thy.

Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately?
Ive got a hobby: rereading lady chatterley.
But now theyre trying to take it all
Away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand
We fight for freedom of the press.
In other words,

Smut! (I love it)
Ah, the adventures of a slut.
Oh, Im a market they cant glut,
I dont know what
Compares with smut.

Hip hip hooray!
Lets hear it for the supreme court!
Dont let them take it away!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer) was an American singer-songwriter, comedian, pianist, and mathematician born in New York City in 1920. Known for his humorous, often satirical songs with witty lyrics, he rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. His songs, characterized by a fast tempo and catchy melodies, tackled controversial topics such as war, politics, and religion, always with a touch of irony and sarcasm. Among his most famous tracks are "The Elements", "Werner Herzog's Last Movie" and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Lehrer released several albums, including "Tom Lehrer Sings" (1959) and "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" (1965). Besides music, Lehrer dedicated himself to teaching mathematics at Harvard University. His musical career ended in the 1970s, but his songs continue to be appreciated for their intelligence and biting humor.
