So long, Mom, I'm off to drop the bomb,
so don't wait up for me,
but while you swelter
down there in your shelter,
you can see me on your T.V.,
while we're attacking frontally,
watch Brinkally and Huntally,
describing contrapuntally
the cities we have lost.
No need for you to miss
a minute of the agonizing holocaust.
Little Johnny Jones
he was a U.S. pilot,
and no shrinking vi'let was he.
He was mighty proud
when World War Three was declared,
he wasn't scared, no siree!
And this is what he said
on his way to Armageddon:
So long, Mom, I'm off to drop the bomb,
so don't wait up for me,
but though I may roam,
I'll come back to my home,
Although it may be
a pile of debris.
Remember, mommy,
I'm off to get a commie,
so send me a salami,
and try to smile somehow.
I'll look for you
when the war is over,
an hour and a half from now! |
