Chorus 1
All clear wailed the si-rens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise right between the
eyes
Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Only one man could be seen and he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deckchair and the red light flashed
beware
Pilot felt quite big time as the bomb sailed through
the air
Well they danced & sang when the bang went bang
but the lights bulked out when the smoke began to clear
It was positively queer
Chorus 2
'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
Till the stench was just revolting and the sky a
creamish tan
But the soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world"
And the blippers went spark and the bits went far and
wide
how the universe sighed
Chorus 3
All clear wailed the si-rens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
Chorus 4
All clear wailed the si-rens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
When the smoke had blown away there was nothing left to view
Except a man dear lord who looked like you floating high up in the sky!
