Verse 1:

No one likes us, I don't know why.

We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try.
Fmaj7 Fm
And all around, even our old friends put us down,
C G7#5 G13
Let's drop the big one and see what happens.
Verse 2:
C Caug
We give them money, but are they grateful?
E7 A7
No, they're spiteful, and they're hateful.

They don't respect us, so let's surprise them;
C G7#5 G13
We'll drop the big one; pulve-rize them.
Verse 3:

Asia's crowded, Europe's too old,

Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us.

We'll save Australia;

Don't want to hurt no kangaroo.

Boom! goes London, boom! Paree,

More room for you, and more room for me.

And every city, the whole world 'round;

Will just be another American town.
D7 G7
Oh, how peaceful it will be; we'll set everybody free,

You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe, it'll be Italian shoes for me.
