Wow, another comedy great gone.
He hadn't performed in decades, and his actual output was small, but the songs he wrote were all gems. For a definite left-brainer (he was a math genius who taught at a number of Universities), he had a wonderfully creative sense of humor.
Here's a rare full concert from Copenhagen sometime in the 1960's:

Rest in Peace Professor Lehrer.
