Tom Lehrer
Mathematics Professor

If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am
I'm a brilliant mathematician, or so something of a ham
I've tried for numerous degrees, in fact, I've one of each
Of course, that makes me eminently qualified to teach

I understand the subject matter thoroughly, it's true
And I can't see why it isn't all as obvious to you
Each lecture is a masterpiece, meticulously planned
Yet everyone tells me that I'm hard to understand
And I can't think why

My diagrams are models of true arduous degree
And my handwriting is famous for its legibility
Take a word like 'minimum,' to choose a random word
For anyone to say he cannot read that is absurd

The anecdotes I tell get more amusing every year
Though frankly, what they go to prove is sometimes less than clear
And all my explanations are quite lucid, I am sure
Yet everybody tells me that my lectures are obscure
And I can't think why

For example
Take differentiation, it's as simple as can be
Like finding the derivative of tangent X, let's see
It's tangent squared, no, secant squared, no, it's just secant, I bet
The sign in front is plus, or is it minus? I forget
Well, it does have a derivative, of that there is no doubt
All these formulas are trivial if you only think them out
Yes, students tell I've memorized the whole term through
Everything you've taught us, but the problems I can't do
And I can't think why
He can't think why


Mirror lyrics:

He can't think why
And I can't think why
Everything you've taught us, but the problems I can't do
Yes, students tell I've memorized the whole term through
All these formulas are trivial if you only think them out
Well, it does have a derivative, of that there is no doubt
The sign in front is plus, or is it minus? I forget
It's tangent squared, no, secant squared, no, it's just secant, I bet
Like finding the derivative of tangent X, let's see
Take differentiation, it's as simple as can be
For example

And I can't think why

And all my explanations are quite lucid, I am sure
Though frankly, what they go to prove is sometimes less than clear
The anecdotes I tell get more amusing every year

For anyone to say he cannot read that is absurd
Take a word like 'minimum,' to choose a random word

maak of braak

le fantă´me de l'opă©ra

i'd put u and i together

i told you so

ma mă´me

lifetime

om

before it explodes

hallelujah

the common cold shoulder

when the wild life betrays me

what makes me tick

ka e du redd for

your english is good

when the last sun goes down

redemption

call me sir

always

guilty

una cosa speciale
