Poisoning Pigeons in the Park brings Tom Lehrer into 2023 with this fantastic new collection of the best, funniest and darkest songs from his career - alongside complimentary illustrations by the
talented Bob Dewar.
From 'Ivy League alma maters' to 'It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier', these hilariously dark songs will keep you on your toes as you make your way through his ever-familiar and present work. Using
familiar favourite tunes as their backing, with an index from the author, this book will be the best way for anyone to enjoy Lehrer's songs.
With building political tension around the world, Lehrer's satiric songs will provide comfort to those who need it. It will not only be a hit with fans of Lehrer's work but newer fans of black humour in general. Additionally, those who follow Bob Dewar's work will also be keen to see how he illustrates Lehrer's songs.
