{c: Thanks to Caren Park }
[D] So long, Mom, I'm [D7] off to drop the bomb
So [G] don't wait [Gm] up for [D] me
[G] But while you swelter down [D] there in your [B7] shelter
[E7] You can see me [A7] on your TV
{c: }
While [D] we're attacking [Gm6] frontally
Watch [D] Brinkally and [Gm6] Huntally
[D] Describing contra-[Gm6]puntally
The [G] cities we have [F#] lost
No [G] need for you to [D] miss a [B7] minute
Of the [E7] agonizing [A] holo-[D]caust, ye[A]ah
{c: }
[D] Little Johnny Jones, he was a [A] US pilot
And no shrinking violet was [D] he [A]
[D] He was mighty proud when World War [E7] Three was declared
He wasn't scared, no sir-[A7]ee!
And this is what he said on his [D] way to Arma-[E7]ged-[A7]don
{c: }
[D] So long, Mom, I'm [D7] off to drop the bomb
So [G] don't wait [Gm] up for [D] me
But [G] though I may roam I'll come [D] back to my [B7] home
Al-[E7]though it may be a [A7] pile of debris
{c: }
Re-[D]member, [Gm6] Mommy, I'm [D] off to get a [Gm6] commie
So [D] send me a [Gm6] salami, and [G]try to smile some-[F#]how
I'll [G] look for you when the [D] war is o-[B7]ver
An [E7] hour and a [A] half from [D] now [A] [D]
