The Lyrics
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb)
In 1940 the British arrived
Carrying a briefcase, "Tube Alloys", a Big secret inside
Fear of losin’ the war to Germany, so they made the trip
To America where they could help make- a Big Bomb
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
The year before, Edward Teller and Albert Einstein had met
Wrote a letter to President Roosevelt about the German uranium bomb threat
Perceived as a development from the atom-splitting Otto Hahn
The United States could not afford to let the Nazis get… the Big Bomb
So the US Army started the “Manhatten Project” in mid-42
Not knowing what exactly the Germans were up to
They had tried heavy water, but got a contaminated moderator
But the US effort was much larger and much greater-the Big Bomb
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
The US sought all the uranium it could find
To enrich it into U-235
Device would be a “gun-type” fashioned into components
Developed in secret at Los Alamos- a secret bomb
At Trinity, they had tested that man-made hell
The “Gadget” had worked and it worked damn well
Yet it made some of the weaker scientists groan
But President Truman would not postpone-the Big Bomb
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
In occupied Korea, at a secret facility in Konan
The Japanese were working on a Big Bomb "Genzei Bakudan”
They were far from finished, just too late…
But the United States just couldn‘t wait -with the Big Bomb
After taking back most of the Pacific, the Japs still wouldn’t back down
Sendin’ Kamikaze pilots into warships, spreadin’ terror around
This looked bad for an Allied autumn ‘45 invasion
There was no other persuasion- time to use the Big Bomb
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
Over Hiroshima and Nagasaki the B-29s dropped them
Both “Enola Gay” and “Bock’s Car” dropped them
They helped to finally end the war with Japan
While the third one remained unfinished on Tinian, Big Bomb
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
[Fade]
(Big Bomb, Big Bomb) Big Atomic Bomb (Big Bomb)
