In keeping with the references to the Tom Lehrer lyric referred to by you from "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" that this quote is responding to, I was referring to a *much* more obscure Tom Lehrer song from his infamous (but available on CD!) First Album, "Songs by Tom Lehrer" called The Irish Ballad, which contains the following verse:
One day when she had nothing to do
Sing rickety tickety tin
One day when she had nothing to do
She cut her baby brother in two
Served him up in an Irish stew
And invited the neighbors in
-Bors in. Invited the neighbors in
The reference of course was an unbelievably obscure play on the Nothing theme, and cannibalism coming in because they ate her baby brother....
And we had to make do with gin,
