[Verso 1]
 
D                       A 
Some friends and I have worked 
             G            D 
for years in deepest secrecy 
D 
The work went on around the clock and 
E            A 
I look for a treat 
D 
We've built the perfect 
G                          A 
weapon, we're unveiling it today 
   D                  G 
It turns the tanks to butter, 
        D      A    D 
but the people walk away.

D            A 
Oh The bomb, the bomb, 
   G                         D 
we finally built the perfect bomb 
D 
It's impossible to stop, 
      E               A 
I can hardly wait to drop 
D         A 
The bomb, the bomb, 
   G                 D 
we finally built the perfect bomb 
G                      A 
I'll tell you what I'm counting on, 
    D A   D 
the bomb, the bomb 


[Verso 2]

D 
The blast extends for 
A            G              D 
miles and it doesn't harm a soul 
A                                  E       A 
Every missile warhead turns into a lump of coal 
D                     G 
The guns all turn to licorice, 
                        D 
the knives all break in two 
D                            E 
The grenades are filled with flowers, 
        A                 D 
colored red and white and Blue.

[Verso 3]

D 
The wonders of our 
A                     G           D 
perfect bomb are very strange to tell 
D 
It doesn't only change the guns, 
   E                 A 
it changes hearts as well 
D             G               E           A 
An instant of exposure to its penetrating ray 
D                         E      A     D 
Will turn a Yassar Arafat into a Danny Kay

[Verso 4]

D 
But perhaps its greatest feature, 
    G        D 
its happiest surprise 
D 
Is the way our perfect weapon 
E                        A 
searches out the meanest lies 
D                A 
It captures them completely, 
    G                  D 
and before the bomb is through 
D                               A          D 
Every word a politician says is absolutely true
