With him still being alive, I definitely can't do them, living in Europe as I do, but surely we have some Tom Lehrer enthusiasts in the USA?In October 2020, Lehrer transferred the music and lyrics for all songs he had ever written into the public domain.[65][66] In November 2022, he formally relinquished the copyright and performing/recording rights on his songs, making all music and lyrics composed by him free for anyone to use, and established a website from which the materials could be downloaded.[67] His statement releasing all his works into the public domain concludes with this note: "This website will be shut down at some date in the not too distant future, so if you want to download anything, don't wait too long."
