Bombers

Lyrics

[Chorus] "All clear" wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes [Verse 1] Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here Only one man could be seen and he was old and so serene Captain sat in his deck chair and the red light flashed "beware" Pilot felt quite big-time as the bomb sailed through the air Well, they danced and sang when the "bang" went "bang" When the lights popped out, when the smoke began to clear It was positively queer [Chorus] "All clear" wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes [Verse 2] "Die" said the General, "cobblers" said the man So the Pentagon sent a cable and the Queen a telegram A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones ripped apart that sand 'Til the stench was just revolting and the sky a greenish tan But a soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world" And the rivers went "squash" and the bits flew far and wide How the universe sighed [Chorus] "All clear" wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes "All clear" wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes [Outro] When the smoke had blown away There was nothing left to view Except a man, dear Lord, who looked like you Floating high up in the sky
