The times are frightening
They could make a person sigh
Can't turn around without thinkin'
Terror from the sky

An aero-plane just might be
Headed here right now
And what it's bringin' makes
An awful big kapow!
(Oh no!)

The atom bomb (the atom bomb)
Might drop on you (might drop on you)
And if it does (and if it does)
What do you do?
No mushroom cloud
Will help you out
We'll see you through

What ya do is just duck
And cover
Everything will work out right
Duck
And cover
You might make it through the night
