Tom Lehrer - So Long, Mom lyrics

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 watch me. . .On your TV. While we're attacking frontally, watch Brinkley and Huntley Describing contrapuntally the cities we have lost. No need for you to miss a minute of the agonizing holocaust. Little Johnnie Jones was a US pilot, no shrinking violet 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.
