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
