SING IT to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

The ONly way WE can be SURE that
We’ll BE safe from NUclear aLARM,
A-BO-lish all NUclear WEApons
And the DANger of NUclear HARM.

We DON’T want to DEprive the DOLphins
Of THEIR right to LIVE wild and FREE,
JUST to proTECT human BEings
From THEIR crazy NUclear folLY.

Ban nukes, ban nukes,
Ban them for once and for all, for all,
Ban nukes, ban nukes,
Now and forEVer more.
