The times are frightening
They could make a person sigh
Can't turn around without thinkin'
Terror from the sky
An aero-plane just might be
Headed here right now
And what it's bringin' makes
An awful big kapow!
(Oh no!)
[Chorus]
The atom bomb (The atom bomb)
Might drop on you (Might drop on you)
And if it does (And if it does)
What do you do?
No mushroom cloud
Will help you out
We'll see you through
What ya do is just duck
And cover
Everything will work out right
Duck
And cover
You might make it through the night
Yeah you only gotta duck
And cover
Sing your little self a song
And if you do
We'll do it too
So just sing along
Your mom and dad
Might tend to be
The worried sort
And they might need
An extra bit
Of your support
Just tell 'em
Hey I think I know
The proper way
To keep this family
From becoming
An ash tray
[Chorus]
The atom bomb (The atom bomb)
Might drop on you (Might drop on you)
And if it does (And if it does)
What do you do?
No mushroom cloud
Will help you out
We'll see you through
What ya do is just duck
And cover
Everything will work out right
Duck
And cover
You might make it through the night
Yeah you only gotta duck
And cover
Sing your little self a song
And if you do
We'll do it too
So just sing along
And if you do
We'll do it too
So just sing along
