[Verse]
D A
Some friends and I have worked
G D
for years in deepest secrecy
D
The work went on around the clock and
E A
I look for a treat
D
We've built the perfect
G A
weapon, we're unveiling it today
D G
It turns the tanks to butter,
D A D
but the people walk away.
[Chorus]
D A
Oh The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
D
It's impossible to stop,
E A
I can hardly wait to drop
D A
The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
G A
I'll tell you what I'm counting on,
D A D
the bomb, the bomb
[Verse]
D
The blast extends for
A G D
miles and it doesn't harm a soul
A E A
Every missile warhead turns into a lump of coal
D G
The guns all turn to licorice,
D
the knives all break in two
D E
The grenades are filled with flowers,
A D
colored red and white and Blue.
[Chorus]
D A
Oh The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
D
It's impossible to stop,
E A
I can hardly wait to drop
D A
The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
G A
I'll tell you what I'm counting on,
D A D
the bomb, the bomb
[Verse]
D
The wonders of our
A G D
perfect bomb are very strange to tell
D
It doesn't only change the guns,
E A
it changes hearts as well
D G E A
An instant of exposure to its penetrating ray
D E A D
Will turn a Yassar Arafat into a Danny Kay
[Chorus]
D A
Oh The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
D
It's impossible to stop,
E A
I can hardly wait to drop
D A
The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
G A
I'll tell you what I'm counting on,
D A D
the bomb, the bomb
[Verse]
D
But perhaps its greatest feature,
G D
its happiest surprise
D
Is the way our perfect weapon
E A
searches out the meanest lies
D A
It captures them completely,
G D
and before the bomb is through
D A D
Every word a politician says is absolutely true
[Outro]
D A
Oh The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
D
It's impossible to stop,
E A
I can hardly wait to drop
D A
The bomb, the bomb,
G D
we finally built the perfect bomb
G A
I'll tell you what I'm counting on,
D A D
the bomb, the bomb
G A
I'll tell you what I'm counting on,
D A D
the bomb, the bomb
