Of the boys sang as they went bravely of to world war iii.
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. (yeah!)
Little johnny jones he was a u.s. pilot,
And no shrinking vi'let was he.
He was mighty proud when world war three was declared,
He wasn't scared,
No siree!
And this is what he said on
His way to armageddon:
So long, mom,
I'm off to drop the bomb,
So don't wait up for me.
But though i may roam,
I'll come back to my home,
Although it may be
A pile of debris.
Remember, mommy,
I'm off to get a commie,
So send me a salami,
And try to smile somehow.
I'll look for you when the war is over,
An hour and a half from now!
Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer) was an American singer-songwriter, comedian, pianist, and mathematician born in New York City in 1920. Known for his humorous, often satirical songs with witty lyrics, he rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. His songs, characterized by a fast tempo and catchy melodies, tackled controversial topics such as war, politics, and religion, always with a touch of irony and sarcasm. Among his most famous tracks are "The Elements", "Werner Herzog's Last Movie" and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Lehrer released several albums, including "Tom Lehrer Sings" (1959) and "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" (1965). Besides music, Lehrer dedicated himself to teaching mathematics at Harvard University. His musical career ended in the 1970s, but his songs continue to be appreciated for their intelligence and biting humor.
