Fred Small - Dig A Hole In The Ground Lyrics
You hear so many rumors sometimes you get confusedBut I read it in Time Magazine and I heard it on the newsWe'll see dramatic changes in the lifestyle we enjoyIf those megatons of atom bombs are actually employed.The scenarios are scary, oh, but they don't worry meSince I received a pamphlet from a federal agencyIt's got diagrams and checklists and I read it front to backAnd it told me what to do in case of nuclear attack: JustCHORUS:Dig a hole in the ground, and climb right on downLay some boards on top of you and sprinkle dirt aroundYou won't have to be dead if you only plan aheadYou'll be glad you kept a shovel on hand!Now you can't just go picking any old place to dig your holeGot to take a ride to the countryside to the town where you are toldIf your plates are odd-numbered please don't panic, you'll be fineJust politely let those even-numbered cars go first in lineIf you don't have a car, just hail a cab or ride your bikeYou can climb aboard the Amtrak train, sit back, and enjoy the sightsYou and thousands of your city friends will be welcomed cordiallyBy townfolk who will show you country hospitality--thenCHORUSWe're sure to give you notice up to seven days beforeBut it's wise to recognize the warning signs of nuclear warIf the temperature is rising in a flash of blinding lightGrab your toothbrush and a flashlight and shut the windows tightIf the wind is blowing wicked and there's buildings in the airBlisters on you body, fire in your hairIf the tupperware is melting and your dinner plans are wreckedStay calm, it's time to put this foolproof plan into effect: JustCHORUS
