This year we’ve been celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the civil war and the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of world war I and the twentieth anniversary of the end of world war ii Soo all in all it’s been a good year for the war buffs and a number of lps and television specials [bad word] out capitalizing on all this nostalgia with particular emphasis on the songs of Various wars. I feel that if any songs are going [bad word] out of world war iii we’d better start writing them now. I have one here. you might call it a bit of pre-nostalgia. this is the song that Of the boys sang as they went bravely of to world war iii. 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. (yeah!) Little johnny jones he was a u.s. pilot, And no shrinking vi’let was he. He was mighty proud when world war three was declared, He wasn’t scared, No siree! And this is what he said on His way to armageddon: So long, mom, I’m off to drop the bomb, So don’t wait up for me. But though I may roam, [bad word] back to my home, Although it may be pile of debris. Remember, mommy, I’m off to get [bad word] So send me a salami, And try to smile somehow. I’ll look for you when the war is over, An hour and a half from now!
