The Lyrics
Growing up on a B-52 AFB, they made us duck under our desk during air raid drills, back in the early 60's. Especially during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I still carry that desk around with me everywhere, just in case...
Well I guess we'll look like burnt toast tonight
I hear the warnings say bombs are in sight
Don't be scared there ain't no reason to cry
So just bend over and kiss your ass goodbye
Towns to the west will be smokin' through the night
We'll be slammed
Duck when the missile's in view
I'll be duckin' with missiles in view
Prob'ly bubblin' in some nuclear stew
As my nose starts melting right off my face
I'll scream out "So glad we won the arms race!"
Towns to the west will be smokin' through the night
So hot damn
Duck when the missile's in view
When the mushroom cloud is risin'
I just bet they'll call me "Day Glow Man"
As my friends are vaporizing
They'll look up for advising
Je-e-e-e-e-ees....su-u-u-u-u-us!
Cryin' don't make no sense but I bawl
Ain't no use to try to make the loo at all
So be careful where you step on the floor
Never mind, soon it won't matter no more
Crap, none is left in me, smokers grab a light
'Cause it's time...
Suck our last cigarettes too
When bombs are almost landing
I'm be screamin' loud for Superman
As it ends, I'll scream for Mama
Head straight for the sack with my
Squeeeeeze...........Pleeeeeease?
Well there ain't no need to buy cigs tonight
We'll all be smokin' when A-Bombs ignite
What is that? You say the bomb's just a FLARE!!
Grab the booze, and look for new underwear
CROWN™ (ain't much left of it!)
Keg is gettin' light
'Cause I am
Suckin' up whiskey and brew
Yes I'm...suckin' up whiskey (and whew!)
Suckin' up whiskey (and WHEW!!!)
I hear the warnings say bombs are in sight
Don't be scared there ain't no reason to cry
So just bend over and kiss your ass goodbye
Towns to the west will be smokin' through the night
We'll be slammed
Duck when the missile's in view
I'll be duckin' with missiles in view
Prob'ly bubblin' in some nuclear stew
As my nose starts melting right off my face
I'll scream out "So glad we won the arms race!"
Towns to the west will be smokin' through the night
So hot damn
Duck when the missile's in view
When the mushroom cloud is risin'
I just bet they'll call me "Day Glow Man"
As my friends are vaporizing
They'll look up for advising
Je-e-e-e-e-ees....su-u-u-u-u-us!
Cryin' don't make no sense but I bawl
Ain't no use to try to make the loo at all
So be careful where you step on the floor
Never mind, soon it won't matter no more
Crap, none is left in me, smokers grab a light
'Cause it's time...

LOL! This is hilarious...Dee...the title alone would have had me...but of course you wrote a parody equal to its brilliance. Excellent!
That was awesome! Love the OS too
I assumed a ducking position after falling off my chair laughing.!
Duck and Cover, here comes 555 megatons
The Cuban Missile Crisis was end-of-the-world scary. I know people whose lives were forever changed after going through it. I was a bit too young to appreciate how close we all came to being toast. This parody brilliantly--and somehow, humorously--captured that era. A masterful job!
Duck and cover yourself with fives. You grew up surrounded by B-52s? Did Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson have the same hair then? (And is it weird that I thought Kate was hot?)
i rolled under my desk....and then laughed my @ss off as well as kissing it goodbye..
beautiful job....i remember those drills well
Blockbuster..great work...far out funny...the touch of reality, blended with your imaginative exaggeration makes it topnotch
Many thanks, to every one, for the nice comments. It's funny how fact can spawn fictional works like this, because I actually went through hundreds of these drills. I grew up on Loring AFB in northeast Maine, and my dad was a B-52 pilot who spent every other week underground in the "ALERT BUNKER", where the crews were expected to be in their cockpits within 2 minutes. We had the air raid drills once every week, for 7 years, and never knew until they were over if they were real or not. The filled underwear thing was a not-so-uncommon occurrence, which is kinda funny now, but back then?...not so much.
he he
To: "?" I removed your comment, but regret doing so, because now that I know who you are, it is the funniest thing you ever wrote. Sad, but true. And "HA HA HA" is about the extent of the laughs you get here, as well. I've seen your pathetic attempts at humor he he he. I won't pay you back for the 1's, you get your poor votes the natural way, which is penalty enough for you...that, and looking in the mirror every day :-)
Duck and cover! 555 megatons of fun.
Jeeeeeeeees.......................suuuuuuus! Hysterical, man. Record this and put it on JibJab, pleeeeeeeeze?
This is the bomb!
I'm far too young to remember "Duck and Cover", but this was a refreshing and funny work on one of the most useless ideas in history. Lots of great rhyming here, Dee. 555 Do you have this one recorded yet?
