His movements really remind me of Sheldon's in The Big Bang Theory.

@jondorthebrinkinator in new york he changed it to "the breakfast garbage they throw out in troy, they drink at lunch in perth amboy"
-
I am so in love with Lehrer! Genius.
-
Yes
-
He often changed that couplet to suit whatever locale he was performing at. The TWTYTW recording was done at The Hungry i in San Francisco, so 'bay' (of San Francisco) and San Jose were the localized lyrics.
-
Well, Tom Lehrer also did unique songs for the audience at the Santa Monica Civic Center back then. He also made lyrical changes where necessary.
-
Are you sure about the release date? I have a copy--it says it was recorded at the Hungry I in July 1965 and has a 1965 copyright...
In any case, classic, funny stuff!

Lyric change! Throw out your breakfast garbage and I've got a hunch the folks downstream will drink it for lunch.
