Pete Seeger - Mack the Bomb lyrics
[Pete Seeger - Mack the Bomb lyrics]
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
And the AEC has figures
But it keeps them out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Strontium 90 shows no color
But it leaves you just as dead
Strontium 90 leaves no clue, dear
It's not like thalidomide
If the baby is deformed, dear
You just blame the other side
Strontium 90 leaves no trace, dear
No one knows who gets the knife
You can always say that background
Radiation took the life
In your milk on Monday morning
Comes an extra little kick
Well, the taste is just the same, dear
But the Geiger counters tick
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
And the AEC has figures
But they keep them out of sight
And he shows them pearly white
And the AEC has figures
But it keeps them out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Strontium 90 shows no color
But it leaves you just as dead
Strontium 90 leaves no clue, dear
It's not like thalidomide
If the baby is deformed, dear
You just blame the other side
Strontium 90 leaves no trace, dear
No one knows who gets the knife
You can always say that background
Radiation took the life
In your milk on Monday morning
Comes an extra little kick
Well, the taste is just the same, dear
But the Geiger counters tick
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
And the AEC has figures
But they keep them out of sight
