Upon leaving the Army in 1957, Lehrer signed with RCA Records. In 1959, he recorded his second LP, "More Of Tom Lehrer". By this time, some of Lehrer's songs such as "The Masochism Tango" and "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park", were being released as singles on the Capricorn record label. These singles were getting airplay overseason stations such as the BBC in London, England, but radio stations in the USA shied away from playing his records, fearing them to be too controversial. After making a number of successful concert tours and recording the albums "An Evening Wasted On Tom Lehrer" (1959) AND "Tom Lehrer Revisted" (1960), he decided to abandon his musical career to pursue his goal to become a college mathematics teacher. Lehrer made a brief return to the spotlight in 1965 with the LP "That Was The Year That Was" for Warner Brothers Records. After a burst of activity touring behind the record for most of 1965-66, Lehrer once again abandoned performing to go back to teaching math and musical theater classes at the University of California in Santa Cruz California, where he still teaches to this day"

Lehrer made no new recordings untill 1997 when he recorded a new song titled "I Got It From Agnes" for the compilation CD "Songs And More Songs By Tom Lehrer" on Rhino Records. In May of 2000, Rhino Records released a box set titled "The Remains Of Tom Lehrer", featuring all of his albums in their entirity as well as four songs Lenrer wrote in the 1970s for the PBS show  "The Electric Company" as well as four brand new studio recordings.
