Anti Love Song
Reaching for the hands of God
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he won't get caught
He's outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he's a sinner man
As he rides from day to night
He's a bad man, so they say
Living for his love and living free
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
He's laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust wit
Masochism Tango
THE HUNTING SONG
Tom Lehrer with orchestra
(Dr. Demento's 25th anniversery tape)
Note: This transcription is dedicated to my uncle and
confirmation sponsor, and the best hunter in Cuyahoga
County, who passed on last year...Mr. Anthony Mazanec
I always will remember
Twas a year ago November
I went out to hunt some deer
On a morning bright and clear
I went and shot the maximum
The game laws would allow
Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow
I was in no mood to trifle
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey
What a haul I made that day
I tied them to my fender
And I drove them home somehow
Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow
The law was very firm it
Took away my permit
The worst punishment I ever endured
It turned out there was a reason
Cows were out of season
And one of the hunters wasn't insured
People ask me how I do it
And I say there's nothing to it
You just stand there looking cute
And when something moves you shoot (BANG!)
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now
Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow
Yes the law was very firm it
Took away my permit
The worst punishment I ever endured
It turned out there was a reason
Cows were out of season
And one of the hunters wasn't insured
People ask me how I do it
And I say there's nothing to it
You just stand there looking cute
And when something moves you shoot (BANG! OW!)
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now
Two game wardens, seven hunters
And a pure-bred Guernsey cow!
