The World Just Got a Little Scarier

Posted by s.z. on October 9th, 2006

After learning that N Korea says it conducted a nuclear test, I think that the only appropriate response is this Tom Lehrer song:

Who’s Next?

First we got the bomb and that was good,

‘Cause we love peace and motherhood.

Then Russia got the bomb, but that’s O.K.,

‘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?
