Johnny Jones
Little Johnny Jones he was a US pilot
And no shrinking violet was he
He was mighty proud when World War III 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 while you swelter down there in your shelter
You can see me on your TV


While we're attacking frontally
Watch Brink-e-ly and Hunt-e-ly
Describing contrapuntally
The cities we have lost
No need for you to miss a minute
Of the agonizing holocaust

So so long mommy, I'm off to kill a commie
So send me a salami and try to smile somehow
I'll come back to you when the war is over
Just an hour and a half from now
