    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 Brinkally and Huntally

    Describing contrapuntally

    The cities we have lost

    No need for you to miss a minute

    Of the agonizing holocaust

    • Tom Lehrer, “So long, Mom”

      Whoa cool, the only Tom Lehrer song I’ve heard of before is “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” I didn’t know he wrote political songs too.

        Ooooooh you’re in for a treat then! Just a few years ago in 2022 he released all his songs from copyright and you can check out every song on his website! (Or any YouTube video of course)

        I suggest ‘Who’s Next?’ for your next listen
