lyrics

It is an awful responsibility which has come to us
We thank god that it has come to us
He looked at his hands
And not to our enemies
His hands were dirty
And we pray that he may guide us to use it
In his ways
And for his purposes

We have spent more than two billion dollars
On the greatest scientific gamble in history
And we have won
It's too early yet to tell what effect the atomic bomb will have on Japanese morale
And if we may have to destroy four or five cities before they actually believe we have such a bomb

I made the run
Let the bomb go
That was my greatest thrill
It was fun to watch
This explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man


Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover

Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover


In times like these
Most men become highly suggestable
They listen eagerly for any voice which sounds authoritative
Let us build a bomb
The United States of American should immediately begin construction of the H bomb
I feel we must make the H bomb
It's my personal opinion that we should manufacture the H bomb in quantity

I wouldn't worry nearly as much about the atom bomb if it were to kill you right out
What scares me is that awful gas the deforms you
We have developed scientifically
Much more than we are capable of handling
Emotionally
And intellectually

All the world knows we Americans are construction not destructive

Or course there are risks if we are not vigilant
But we do not have to be hysterical


Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover

Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover
Duck and cover


It is suggested that everyone remain indoors until further notice
There is no danger

Don't worry about yourselves
You'll be okay

We must be ready everyday
All the time

Well I guess there's nothing for us to worry about
We're the one that have the bomb

It's a bomb duck and cover
