This is a mirror of tomlehrersongs.com. I'm not affiliated with that site, however the site includes the following statememt:
DISCLAIMER STATEMENT
I, Tom Lehrer, and the Tom Lehrer Trust 2000, hereby grant the following permission:
All the lyrics on this website, whether published or unpublished, copyrighted or uncopyrighted, may be downloaded and used in any manner whatsoever, without requiring any further permission from me or any payment to me or to anyone else.
Some lyrics written by Tom Lehrer to copyrighted music by others are included herein, but of course such music may not be used without permission of the copyright owners. (The translated songs may be found in their original languages on YouTube.)
In other words, all the lyrics herein should be treated as though they were in the public domain.
In particular, permission is hereby granted to anyone to set any of these lyrics to their own music and publish or perform their versions without fear of legal action.
This permission applies only to the lyrics on this website. Most of the music written by Tom Lehrer will be added gradually later with further disclaimers.
Note: This website will be shut down on December 31, 2024, so if you want to download anything, don’t wait too long.
Since the site explicitly allows copying and use of the materials on the site, I set up this mirror for two reasons:
- Convenience for anyone else who'd like a local copy
- To help keep the content available after the site's scheduled shutdown.
I'll check in with the original site from time to time to see if anything has been added, and update this mirror as needed.
For what it's worth, this mirror was created with the following command:
wget -mkEpnp -p --wait=2 https://tomlehrersongs.com/
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
