Why Did This Not Occur to Me Earlier?

Guess what's on YouTube!

Sadly, they do not have a proper live version of Mr. Lehrer singing "Smut," which is what I really hoped to find. But a bunch of his other classics are there.

I've only been acquainted with his 'Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park'. But this is refreshing. XD And him looking all proper and posh in there.

As far as Lehrer looking posh & proper: you have to remember, this was the mid-1960s, and he really was a math professor! Of course, the contrast between his buttoned-up appearance and the words he was singing was part of the shtick.

There are a pile of his other tunes on YouTube. I first encountered him when someone in 6th grade (1969-1970, for me) brought in his album That Was the Week That Was so that we could listen to "Pollution." I didn't hear "Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park"until much later!
