Who's Next?

One of the big news items of the past year

Concerned the fact that China

Which we call Red China

Exploded a nuclear bomb

Which we called "a device"

Then Indonesia announced

That it was gonna have one soon

And "proliferation" became the word of the day

Here's a song about that

First we got the bomb, and that was good

'Cause we love peace and motherhood

Then Russia got the bomb, but that's okay

'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way

Who's next?

France got the bomb, but don't you grieve

'Cause they're on our side, I believe

China got the bomb, but have no fears

They can't wipe us our for at least five years

Who's next?

Ah, then Indonesia claimed that they

Were gonna get one any day

South Africa wants two – that's right

One for the black and one for the white

Who's next?

Egypt's gonna get one too

Just to use on you know who

So Israel's getting tense

Wants one in self-defense

"The Lord's our shepherd," says the Psalm

But, just in case, we better get a bomb

Who's next?

Ah, Luxembourg is next to go

And – who knows? – maybe Monaco

We'll try to stay serene and calm

When Alabama gets the bomb

Who's next?

Who's next?

Who's next?

Who's next?
