Who's Next 1965 Tom Lehrer

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 15 Nov 2002

First we got the bomb and that was good,
'cause we love peace and motherhood.
Then Russia got the bomb, but that's O.K.,
'cause the balance of power's
maintained that way.
Who's next?
Then France got the bomb
but don't you grieve,
'cause they're on our side (I believe).
China got the bomb but have no fears,
'cause they can't wipe us out
for at least five years.
Who's next?
Japan will have its own device,
transistorized at half the price.
South Africa wants two, that's right:
One for the black and one for the white.
Who's next?
Egypt's gonna get one too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel's getting tense,
wants one in selfdefense.
"The Lord's our shepherd,"
says the psalm, but just in case
we better get a bomb.
Who's next?
Luxembourg is next to go,
and (who knows?) maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
when Alabama gets the bomb.
Who's next? Who's next? Who's next?
Who's next?
