Lobachevsky

Written by Tom Lehrer

	  		
Intro: Am   Dm   E7   Am 

N.C 
Who made me the genius I am today, 
The mathematician that others all quote? 
Who's the professor that made me that way, 
The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat?

verse 1 N.C I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky. In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarize! E7 Am Plagiarise, Dm Let no one else's work evade your eyes, E7 Remember why the good Lord made your eyes, Am So don't shade your eyes, Dm E7 Am But plagiarise, plagiarise, plagiarise... N.C Only be sure always to call it please, "research".

verse 3 N.C I am never forget the day my first book is published. Every chapter I stole from somewhere else. Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory. This book, this book was sensational! Pravda - ah, Pravda - Pravda said: "Jeel beel kara ogoday blyum blocha jeli," ("It stinks"). But Izvestia! Izvestia said: "Jai, do gudoo sun sai pere shcum," ("It stinks"). Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva bought the movie rights for six million rubles, Changing title to 'The Eternal Triangle', With Ingrid Bergman playing part of hypotenuse.
