LET’S BLOW THE WHOLE WORLD UP !

(as sung to; ‘Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off’)
– marty liboff-

I got an A-bomb
you got an H-bomb
I want your oil
you invade my soil
North Korea has an A-bomb
and they hate everyone-
so let’s blow the whole world up!
Russia has lots of H-bombs
and we got lots of H-bombs
Israel has atomic missiles
and China has lots of atomic missiles
A-bombs, H-bombs
missiles, more missiles
so let’s blow the whole world up!
But oh, if we blow the whole world up
we’ll be blown apart-
and oh, if we blow the whole world apart
we’ll be melted into a radioactive fart!
India has the A-bomb
Pakistan has the A-bomb
England has atomic missiles
France has atomic missiles
Iran will soon have the A-bomb
and they hate everyone-
so let’s blow the whole world up!
Fighting in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan
fighting in Libya, Yemen and Sudan
Protestants hate Catholics
Muslims hate agnostics
Buddhists hate Hindus
and everyone hates Jews
Fighting, hating, fighting, hating
so let’s blow the whole world up!
But oh, if we blow the whole world up
we’ll be blown apart-
and oh, if we blow the whole world apart
we’ll be melted into a radioactive fart!
So maybe if we try and get together
and love one another
if we stop the hating
and end all the fighting
If we stop the racism, bombing and killing
stop hating, stop fighting
stop bombing and killing-
so let’s not blow the whole world up!
But oh, if we don’t blow the whole world up
we won’t be blown apart-
and oh, if we don’t blow the whole world apart
you can keep love in your heart!
So, let’s not blow the whole world up!
Let’s not blow the whole world up!
