Introduction歌词完整版
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
Naval 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 Adolph Hitler Without
Further ado Tom Lehrer
