Lyric Who s Next?

One of the big news items of the past year concerned the fact that China, which we called "Red China," exploded a nuclear bomb, which we called a device. Then Indonesia announced that it was going to have one soon, and proliferation became the word of the day. Here s a song about that:

First we got the bomb, and that was good,
Cause we love peace and motherhood.
Then Russia got the bomb, but that s okay,
Cause the balance of power s maintained that way.
Who s next?

France got the bomb, but don t you grieve,
Cause they re on our side (I believe).
China got the bomb, but have no fears,
They can t wipe us out for at least five years.
Who s next?

Then Indonesia claimed that they
Were gonna get one any day.
South Africa wants two, that s right:
One for the black and one for the white.
Who s next?

Egypt s gonna get one too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel s getting tense.
Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord s our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case, we better get a bomb.
Who s next?

Luxembourg is next to go,
And (who knows?) maybe Monaco.
We ll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb.
Who s next?
Who s next?
Who s next?
Who s next?
