Verse one
AmThere is a rumble in the sky and all the Gworld can hear it call

They Amshudder at the fury of the Fmighty ThunderAmball

The power of her engines, now, has Gdrowned in the sea

But the Amdeadly force from within her is Fsomewhere running Amfree

Chorus
FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand

Verse two
AmSomewhere, there is a man who could Gstop the thing in time

He is Amknown by very few but he's Ffeared by all in Amcrime

By courage and by fighting, he has Gnot been known to fall

But Amneither has the fury of the Fmighty ThunderAmball

FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand

Verse three
AmMoney hungry minds need a Gthreat to launch a scheme

But Amthose, who hold the Thunderball, could Frule the world, it Amseems

Cannot the peaceful world find the Gclue to where she's gone

The Amsilent sea won't answer now but Fterror lingers Amon

FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand
