"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" (1959) is a song by Tom Lehrer. It is included on his CD, An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer. It is a parody of springtime songs.

The song begins:

Spring is here, a-spuh-ring is here 
Life is skittles and life is beer... 

The poison names produce rhymes such as "try an' hide" with "cyanide".
