LYRICS/TRANSCRIPTION: Fallout Shelter: Mike and Bernie Winters [1961]
I'm not scared I'm prepared We'll be spared
I've got a fallout shelter, it's 9 by 9 Hi-Fi set and a jug of wine Let the missiles fly from nation to nation But it's party time in my radiation station A 14 day supply of multi-purpose food A TV set I'm sure to include Build a bomb bungalow, one of your own With no down payment and a government loan
Let the tests go on in the atmosphere In my fallout shelter, I'll have no fear My baby and me, cozy we will be Away from radioactivity
20 megatons is the size of the boom And if they let it go, I'll feel no doom Let the cats run about, helter-skelter I'm gonna, live, live, live in my fallout shelter
I'm not scared I'm petrified We'll be spared
20 megatons is the size of the boom And if they let it go, I'll feel no doom Let the cats run about, helter-skelter I'm gonna live, live, live in my fallout shelter
So if you want to be full of confidence Get survival jazz and civil defense You'll live like a king in your fallout pad 'Till the all clear sounds, we're swingin', dad We're swingin', dad So what?
Mike & Bernie Winters [1961] Fallout Shelter (P. Scott-Peters)
