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!
