| Artist | Tom Lehrer |
| Album | Revisited |
| Spoken live introduction: | |
| I should like to introduce now the featured artist of this evening's... ordeal. | |
| I'm sure that you will all agree without any hesitation that Tom Lehrer is the | |
| most brilliant creative genius that America has produced in almost 200 years, | |
| so perhaps a few words of biographical background might not be amiss. | |
| Endowed by nature with perhaps the most glorious baritone voice to be heard | |
| on an American stage since the memorable concert debut in 1835 of Millard | |
| Fillmore; endowed also with twelve incredibly agile fingers; Mr. Lehrer has | |
| had a long and varied career in the field of entertainment starting with | |
| nine years at Harvard University..., where it was that he first decided to | |
| devote his life to what has since become a rather successful scientific | |
| project – namely, the attempt to prolong adolescence beyond all previous | |
| limits. | |
| Even before he came to Harvard, however, he was well known in academic | |
| circles for his masterly translation into Latin of "The Wizard of Oz", | |
| which remains even today the standard Latin version of that work. A few | |
| years ago he was inducted..., forcibly..., into the United States Army and | |
| spent most of his indenture in Washington as sort of Army liaison to the | |
| Office of Navel Contemplation. About his service record he is justifiably | |
| modest, but it is known that in a short time he rose to the rank of brigadier | |
| general. However, before he could acquire a tenure, he was discharged, and | |
| owing to nepotism and intrigue, he emerged with only the rank of specialist | |
| 3rd class, which was roughly equivalent to the rank of corporal without | |
| portfolio. | |
| But to return to his career in show business: For several years he toured | |
| vaudeville theaters with an act consisting of impressions of people in the | |
| last throes of various diseases. I'm sure that many of you here tonight still | |
| recall with pleasure his memorable diphtheria imitation. He is generally | |
| acknowledged to be the dean of living American composers, and is currently | |
| working on a musical comedy based on the life of Adolf Hitler. | |
| Without further ado – Tom Lehrer: | |
| – – – – | |
| You'd be amazed at the money we save that way . . . |
