Sweet Yet Sour

I grew up with a dad who loved Tom Lehrer – a comic/singer popular in the 1950’s and ’60’s.  My father, being a chemistry professor, loves Lehrer’s “Elements” song, which is sung to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Major-General Song”.  If you haven’t heard his songs, but can deal with a little dark humor, go check him out…

Each year as I start my (always belated) Christmas shopping one of Lehrer’s songs begins to run in my head, his “Christmas Carol”.  The lyrics have some great lines, such as, “God rest ye merry merchants, may ye make the yuletide pay”.

I thought I’d share it with all of you for a little laugh as you do your Christmas shopping…
