| No one likes us. |
| I don't know why. |
| We may not be perfect, We give them money, |
| But heaven knows we try. But are they grateful? |
| But all around, No, they're spiteful, |
| Even our old friends put us down. And they're hateful. |
| Let's drop the big one, They don't respect us, |
| And see what happens. So let's surprise them |
| We'll drop the big one, |
| And pulverize 'em. |
| Asia's crowded, |
| Europe's too old, |
| Africa is far too hot, We'll save Australia. |
| And Canada's too cold. Don't wanna hurt no kangaroos. |
|And South America stole our name We'll build an All-American amusement|
| Let's drop the big one, park there-- |
| There'll be no one left to blame us. They got surfin', too! |
| |
| Boom! goes London, |
| And Boom! Paree. |
| More room for you, Oh, how peaceful it'll be! |
| And more room for me, We'll set everybody free! |
|And every city, You'll wear a Japanese kimono, babe; |
| The whole world round, There'll be Italian shoes for me! |
| Will just be another American town. They all hate us anyhow, |
| So, let's drop the big one now. |
| Let's drop the big one now! |
| -- Randy Newman, "Drop the Big One" |
