The Lyrics

UUUUUUU
[The chemical symbol of Uranium is U]

We’ve got bars that glow gamma rays
Radiation powers the place
Uranium

Deep underneath Australia
Below the dusty plain
Uranium is in the soil
But is it there in vein?
Got to dig down
(Vrlll vrllll)
Deep under ground
(It’s found underground)

Time for nuclear power
Cuz the industry’s a boom (BOOM!)
Those oxides we will stockpile
Watch our market shares mushroom
Let’s go all out
(Drill down where it’s found)
Hope for no fallout
(Your hair might fall out)

Huge coal mining tax to be payed
Solar power dies in the shade
Birds hit hydro-electric fan blades
Uranium

Nuclear construction
Build that power plant
Of the world resources
We’ve got 23%
We’re mining all these minerals
Refining what we take (So fine!)
No oil spills from our business
Let our energy radiate!

We’ve got arms, they stick from our face
Not like ‘arms’ as in ‘nuclear arms race’
It’s the decade to be decayed
Uranium

Can you name the noble gases making you all cough?
It’s like that Chernobyl crisis leaking… oops, we’re stuffed
Uranium
Uranium

We run far to make our escape
The extra leg helps us to keep pace
Like a one man three-legged race
Uranium

Here at the plant we watch our own skin bake
Turning to pink then glows and starts to flake
Better escape or we will all vaporise

BHP must now come and compensate
Nuclear families in every state
Got the green lung and lasers shoot from our eyes

Everyone can now fly through space
(I’m brainier!)
We’ve become a new super race
(Big cranium!)
I’ve got a new X-men name IT’S MACE!
Uranium!
Recording was abridged with different banter.

As a former resident of Wollongong, Australia, I too remember the good old BHP. Good parody!

Great recording! Even better than the lyrics themselves! Didn't know that you were Austrailian until today.
