Come with me if you’re so inclined   We’ll leave suburbia behind   We’ll hide on the side of some desert hills   And explore some supernatural thrills      On a sunny springtime afternoon   We’ll grab a snack while bombs go boom   And then we’ll wile away the ours   With alcohol and firepower      Come on my atomic picnic   Bring your shades I’ll bring champagne   In the glow of nuclear fission   You’ll never be the same again      It’s quite a sight when they’re blown up   But I’ve never seen you look so grown-up   Next to them you radiate   So give this boy next door a date and      Come on my atomic picnic   Bring sunblock I’ll bring champagne   In the glow of nuclear fission   You’ll never be the same again      I heard it from my dad but it’s top secret   That we’re falling behind the soviets   Can’t you hear Sputnik overhead   Ivan won’t stop ‘til we’re all red   But don’t get to scared ‘cause I’ll be there   To hold your hand and more – if you dare      We could be space-age pioneers   Shooting past the stratosphere   Yeah we could make some history   As we start our nuclear family so      Come on my atomic picnic   Bring your shades I’ll bring champagne   In the glow of nuclear fission   You’ll never be the same   You’re sure to come on my atomic picnic   Bring sunblock I’ll bring champagne   In the glow of nuclear fission   You’ll never be the same again –   We’ll have a blast!
