Duck and Cover Lyrics

It is an awful responsibility which has come to us

We thank god that it has come to us

He looked at his hands

And not to our enemies

His hands were dirty

And we pray that he may guide us to use it

In his ways

And for his purposes

We have spent more than two billion dollars

On the greatest scientific gamble in history

And we have won

It's too early yet to tell what effect the atomic bomb will have on Japanese morale

And if we may have to destroy four or five cities before they actually believe we have such a bomb

I made the run

Let the bomb go

That was my greatest thrill

It was fun to watch

This explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

In times like these

Most men become highly suggestable

They listen eagerly for any voice which sounds authoritative

Let us build a bomb

The United States of American should immediately begin construction of the H bomb

I feel we must make the H bomb

It's my personal opinion that we should manufacture the H bomb in quantity

I wouldn't worry nearly as much about the atom bomb if it were to kill you right out

What scares me is that awful gas the deforms you

We have developed scientifically

Much more than we are capable of handling

Emotionally

And intellectually

All the world knows we Americans are construction not destructive

Or course there are risks if we are not vigilant

But we do not have to be hysterical

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

Duck and cover

It is suggested that everyone remain indoors until further notice

There is no danger

Don't worry about yourselves

You'll be okay

We must be ready everyday

All the time

Well I guess there's nothing for us to worry about

We're the one that have the bomb

It's a bomb duck and cover
