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 see me

On your TV

While we're attacking frontally

Watch Brinkally and Huntally

Describing contrapuntally

The cities we have lost

No need for you to miss a minute

Of the agonizing holocaust

    Whoa cool, the only Tom Lehrer song I've heard of before is "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," I didn't know he wrote political songs too.

    Ooooooh you're in for a treat then! Just a few years ago in 2022 he released all his songs from copyright and you can check out every song on his website! (Or any YouTube video of course)

    I suggest 'Who's Next?' for your next listen
