Leave de Atom Alone

Ever since the apple in the garden with Eve Man always foolin' with things that cause him to grieve He fool with the woman, with the Roman hot blood And he almost washed up by the 40 day flood But not since the doom day in old Babylon Did he fool with anything so diabolical as the cyclotron So if you wish to avoid the most uncomfortable trip to paradise You will be scientific and take my advice Leave de atom alone Leave de atom alone Don't get smart alexy with the galaxy Leave atom alone If you want to keep riding in Cadillac car If you don't want to surely go to heaven prematurely on a shooting star If it pleasures your heart to keep smoking that big fat cigar Let me drive the point home Leave de atom alone If you want Mississippi to stay where it is If you want to see Wall Street and General Motors continue in biz If you want Uncle Sam to keep holding what's yours and what's his If you're fond of kith and kin in their skin and bone Don't fool around with hydrogen Leave de atom alone Bad for the teeth, bad for the bone Don't fool with it, leave it alone If you like Paris in the springtime (Paris in the springtime) London in the fall (London in the fall) Manhattan in the autumn (Manhattan in the autumn) With music on the mall (with music on the mall) Stop fooling with the fallout Or puff the cosmic ball Or soon you will be fissionable material (Bad for the teeth, bad for the bone Don't fool with it, leave it alone!) Don't mess around you dopes Lay off the isotopes Don't you fuss with the nucleus Don't go too far with the nuclear Don't get gay with the cosmic ray You'll burn your fingers, lose your hair You'll leave big smog in the atmosphere You're most exasperated When radioactivated And cannot be located on telephone Go on back! (to rock and roll-a) (To Rum and Coca Cola) Go back to Eve, but leave de atom alone (Bad for the teeth) That's right!, (bad for the bone) Uh Huh! (Don't fool with it) You'll spoil your complexion Tie up the traffic Jam up your plumbing Lose your sweet disposition (Don't fool with it) Leave it alone
