SING IT to the tune of There is a Balm in Gilead
Chorus:
There is a bomb on Trident subs
That makes a great big HO-O-OLE!
There is a bomb on Trident subs
That makes a great big hole.
Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think the time has come
When we will use our nuke bombs
And blow the world to CRU-UMBS.
Chorus
Sometimes I feel encouraged
And it is times like this
That I look all around me
And blow you all a KI-ISS! (blow a kiss)
Second Chorus:
We will stop the nuclear bombs
That make the great big HO-O-OLES.
We will stop the nuclear bombs
And keep our planet whole.
