ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? (Canon for 4 voices)
(Finale of The Physical Revue)
words by Tom Lehrer
music: "O, du eselhafter Martin" by W. A. Mozart
| PROFESSOR: | Now then, are there any questions? |
| Any problems, any questions? | |
| If there are none, | |
| Then I am done, | |
| And I can bid you all good day, | |
| For there's no reason I should stay here, | |
| For I've said all I have to say here. | |
| If there are none, | |
| Then I am done, | |
| I wish you luck on the examination. | |
| And so, my friends, I bid you all goodbye, | |
| I hope you've liked the course as much as I, | |
| Goodbye, goodbye, | |
| Goodbye, to one and all I say goodbye. | |
| Just one more thing, and do not laugh: | |
| I hope you'll take the second half, | |
| Physics -- | |
| Physics -- | |
| Physics Eleven B. | |
| Now there's no reason I should (*) stay here, etc., etc. | |
| STUDENT 1: | [begin at (*) above] |
| Ha! He asks if there are questions! | |
| Holy smoke, have I got questions, | |
| I got a ton, | |
| And every one | |
| Would take him half a day to do, | |
| But I don't really want to (**) stay here, | |
| Since he's said all he has to say here, | |
| But it's agreed | |
| That I shall need | |
| Much more than luck on the examination. | |
| And so I (***) think I'll let him say goodbye, | |
| I guess that he is as relieved as I. | |
| Goodbye, goodbye, | |
| Thank God the course is over now, goodbye. | |
| One thing he said that makes me laugh: | |
| He hopes I'll take the second half. | |
| Ha, ha! | |
| Ha, ha! | |
| Ha, ha! Don't make me laugh! | |
| Ha! He asks if there are questions, etc., etc. |
STUDENT 2 begins at (**), STUDENT 3 begins at (***)
