"All clear," wailed the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes

Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Only one man could be seen, and he was old, and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair and the red light flashed, "Beware"
Pilot felt quite big-time as the bomb sailed through the air

Well, they danced and sang when the bang went 'bang'
When the lights popped out, when the smoke began to clear

It was positively queer

"All clear," wailed the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes

"Die," said the general, "Cobblers," said the man
So the Pentagon sent a cable and the Queen, a telegram
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones ripped apart that sand
Till the stench was just revolting and the sky a greenish tan

But the soldier said, "Sir, there's a crack in the world"
And the figures went 'squash' and the bits flew far and wide

How the universe sighed

"All clear," wailed the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes

"All clear," wailed the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes

When smoke had blown away
There was nothing left to view
Except a man, dear Lord, who looked like you
Floating high up in the sky
