We consider simple complex Lie algebras extended over the commutative ring C[z,(z — a1)-1, . . . ,(z — an)-1] where a1, . . . ,an ∊ C. We compute the universal central extensions of these Lie algebras and present explicit commutation relations for these extensions. These algebras generalize the untwisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, which correspond to the case n = 1, a1 = 0.
