I Hold Your Hand In Mine by Tom Lehrer

Album: Songs by Tom Lehrer (1953)

Get the Sheet Music License This Song

Written and performed by American satirist Tom Lehrer, this song has been called macabre. Lehrer himself said of it, "You know, of all the songs I have ever sung, that is the one I've had the most requests not to."

It might be described as a borderline ode to necrophilia/murder ballad with a touch of madness - but not the Aldo Nova kind. >>
