Well...as long as we're looking at songs that go BANG!....
Twenty Tons of TNT - Flanders and Swann
I have seen it estimated,
Somewhere between death and birth.
There are now three thousand million
People living on this earth.
And the stockpiled mass destruction
Of the nuclear powers that be
Equals, for each man or woman,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Every Man of evey nation,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Shall receive this allocation,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Texan, Bantou, Slav or Mauri,
Argentine or Singalee,
Every maiden brings this dowry,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Not for thirty siver shilling,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Twenty thousand pounds of killing,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Twenty hundred years of teaching,
Give to each his legacy,
Plato, Budda, Christ or Lenin,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Father, Mother, Son and Daughter,
Give me land and seed and water,
Children have no need of sharing,
At each new nativity,
Come, the ghostly magi, bearing
Twenty tons of TNT.
Ends the tale that has no sequal,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Now in death are all men equal,
Twenty tons of TNT.
Teach me how to love my neighbour,
Do to him as he to me,
Share the fruits of all our labour,
Twenty tons of TNT.
When you absolutely positively have to have massive explosions....
