Well[D] I am the man, the well-fed man, in[A] charge of the terrible[D] knob, The most[D] pleasing thing about it,
it's[G] almost a permanent[A] job, When the[G] atom war is over, and the[D] world is split in [A]three, A conso[D]lation
I got, well[G] maybe it's not, there'll be [A]nobody left but [D]me.
I sit at my desk in Washington in charge of this
great machine More vicious than Adolf Hitler, more deadly than strichnine And in the evening after a tiring day just
to give myself a laugh I hit the button a playful belt and I listen for the blast
If Breshniev starts his nonsense,
and makes a nasty spell With a wink and a nod from Nixon, I'll blast them all to hell And as for that Fidel Castro,
him with the sugar cane, He needn't hide behind his whiskers, I'll get him just the same.
If my wife denies me
conjugular rights or my breakfast milk is sour From eight to nine in the morning you're in for a nervous hour, The
button being so terribly close it's really a dreadful joke Abut with my arse, as I go past, and we'll all go up in smoke.
Now I'm thinking of joining the army, the army that bans the bomb We'll take up a large collection, and I'll donate
my thumb, For without it, I am helpless, and that's the way to be You don't have to kill the whole bloody lot to make
the people free.
