Poisoning Pigeons In The Park Chords & Lyrics - Tom Lehrer

[C]Spring is here,[A7] a-suh-puh-sp[D7]ring is he[G7]re, L[C]ife is ski[A7]ttles and [D7]life is[G7] beer

[Dm7]I think the l[G7]oveliest ti[C]me of the y[G7]ear Is the[C] spring, I[A7] do, don't [D7]you?
Course you [G7]do!

But there[Dm]'s one thing that ma[G7]kes spring com[C]plete for me

And make[D7]s every Sunday a [G]treat for[Gdim] me...[G7]

All the wor[C]ld seems in [Cmaj7]tune on a spring after[C]noon

When we're poisoning pigeons in [Gdim]the p[G7]ark

Every [Dm]Sunday you'll see [F#]my sw[F]eetheart and [Dm6]me

As we pois[G7]on the pigeons in the [C]park

When [Fm]they see us coming, The birdies all try and hide

But they st[D7]ill go for peanuts, When co[G7]ated with cy-an-hide

The sun's [C]shining [Cmaj7]bright, Everyt[C6]hing seems all r[C]ight

When we're [D7]poisoning p[G7]igeons in the p[C]ark

[G7sus4]We've gained n[G7]otoriety, And [Cmaj7]caused much a[C6]nxiety, In the Aud[G7sus4]ubon Society[G7]

With our [Cmaj7]games They[A7sus4] call it[A7] impiety and [Dmaj7]lack of [D6]propriety, and quite a va[A7]riety

of unpleasant na[D]mes

But it's [D7]not against any [G]religion, To w[D7]ant to dispose of a pi[G7]geon

So, if, Su[C]nday you're[Cmaj7] free, why don't [C6]you come with [C]me and we'll poison the pigeons in t[Gdim]he pa[G7]rk

And [Dm]maybe we'll do [F#]in a [F]squirrel or [Dm6]two, while we're p[G7]oisoning pigeons in the p[C]ark

We'll mur[Fm]der them all amid laughter and merriment, E[D7]xcept for the few we take h[G7]ome to experiment
My [C]pulse will be [C7]quickenin' With[C6] each drop of st[C]rychnine

We [D7]feed to a pi[G7]geon It [D7]just takes a smidgin! To p[D7]oison a [G7]pigeon in the p[C]ark
