Lyric: Atom Bomb by Glenn Barber

Atom Bomb

Glenn Barber

GENRE
Pop
They're buildin' an atom bomb
Gonna blow me out of this place
They're buildin' a bigger bomb
What a crazy human race
Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch
Well, brother that ain't for me
I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'
When they blow me to smithereens

Now, I'm not a man that's a-scared of things
Least things I knows about
But when my tater patch left the ground
I started right then gettin' out
I figured it was time for all good men
To rise up and really shine
And I'll bet you anyone who saw me leave
Gonna say I sure did fine

They'rе buildin' an atom bomb
Gonna really cook our goose
They'rе buildin', a bigger bomb
Done turn the little one loose
I'll never get out of this world alive
But brother I can plain sure try
I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'
When the first big smoke goes by

Now, fellers, I fought in World War I
And that was quite a brawl
And old number 2 that was really bad
'Cause that we all recall
I'm wishin' for a way to the moon and soon
'Fore this next one starts
I want to get up there all in one piece
And not just part-by-part

They're buildin' an atom bomb
Gonna blow me out of this place
They're buildin' a bigger bomb
What a crazy human race
Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch
Well, brother that ain't for me
I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'
When they blow me to smithereens

Now the place for me is up in them hills
In a cave way back in the rocks
When that thing goes off I'll get the char
But none of the real bad shocks
With a trusty gun and a can of beans
And an old hound dog or two
If there's anybody left it's gonna be me
When all of this mess is through

They're buildin' an atom bomb
Gonna really cook our goose
They're buildin' a bigger bomb
Done turn the little one loose
I'll never get out of this world alive
But brother I can plain sure try
I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'
When the first big smoke goes by

Now you think I'm lying but it ain't no joke
'Cause I used to live real close
A flash of light made in the dead of night
Nearly scared me out of my clothes
My old hound dog went raving mad
And was deaf for a week or two
When we quit runnin' he was pret' near dead
But we figured that was the thing to do

They're buildin' an atom bomb
Gonna blow me out of this place
They're buildin' a bigger bomb
What a crazy human race
Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch
Well, brother that ain't for me
I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'
When they blow me to smithereens

Yeah! No! Did you ever of such a noise? Yeah...
