Tom Lehrer, "We Will All Go Together When We Go" (1959)

I’m at my middle sister’s house and coincidentally, my brother in law was watching the late great Tom Lehrer, who had a way of really breaking things down. This song came out when one of our biggest fears was "the bomb".

It still works. Perversely, it did cheer me up !😅

He had a lot of great satiric songs. Being a recovering Catholic, I love Vatican Rag. The Boy Scout Marching Song. Fight On for Dear Ol' Harvard. A new military song for the Army, the title of which I can't recall at the moment. Then he had one about vacationing in Latin America and attending a bull fight with the line about it being the most exciting thing he had seen "since my dog Rover got run over. The driver did it was such skill and grace, he was awarded both ears and the tail."
