Bombers

All clear wail the sirens

Sunshine on the waste-land

Old man sitting in the white sand

Think we're in for a big surprise,

right between the ey..es

Seemed a good idea

to drop a bomb on the waste-land, yeah

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

and the smoke began to clear,

it was positively queer!

"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 green-ish tan

But the soldier said "Sir,

there's a crack in the world"

And the figures went "squash",

and the bits flew far and wide

How the universe sighed!

When the smoke had blown away,

there was nothing left to view

Except a man, dear Lord!, he look like you

Floating high,

up in the sky...
