1
[Chorus]
2
All clear wail the sirens
3
Sunshine on the wasteland
4
Old man sitting in the white sand
5
Think we're in for a big surprise
6
Right between the eyes
7
Seemed a good idea
8
To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
9
Only one man could be seen
10
And he was old and so serene
11
Captain sat in his deck chair
12
And the red light flashed Beware
13
Pilot felt quite big-time
14
As the bomb sailed through the air
15
Well, they danced and sang
16
When the bang went bang
17
When the lights popped out
18
And the smoke began to clear
19
It was positively queer
20
[Chorus]
21
"Die" said the General
22
"Cobblers" said the man
23
So the Pentagon sent a cable
24
And the Queen a telegram
25
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones
26
Ripped apart that sand
27
'Til the stench was just revolting
28
And the sky a greenish tan
29
But the soldier said "Sir,
30
There's a crack in the world"
31
And the figures went "squash",
32
And the bits flew far and wide
33
How the universe sighed!
34
[Chorus: x2]
35
When the smoke had blown away
36
There was nothing left to view
37
Except a man dear Lord who looked like you
38
Floating high up in the sky
