Tom Lehrer - L-Y lyrics

You're wearing your squeaky shoes

And right there taking a snooze

Is a tiger, so how do you walk on by?

Silently ... silently ... silent ... L-Y

You're a secret agent man

Who's after the secret plan

How do you act so they don't know you're as spy?

Normally ... normally ... normal ... L-Y

At an eating contest you boast

That you can eat the most

How do you down your fiftieth piece of pie?

Eagerly ... eagerly ... eager ... L-Y

On the lake your boat upset

And your clothes got soaking wet

How do you stand and wait for them to dry?

D-d-d-d-d patiently ... d-d-d-d-d patiently ... patient ... L-Y

In the public library

You fall and you hurt your knee

But the sign says "quiet please," so how can you cry?

Quietly .... quietly .... quiet ... L-Y

As you walk along the street

A porcupine you meet

How do you shake his hand when he says hi?

Carefully ... carefully .... careful ... L-Y

You enter a very dark room

And sitting there in the gloom

Is Dracula! Now how do you say goodbye?

Immediately ... immediately ... immediate ... L-Y

Bye Bye!
