Al Yankovic - Christmas At Ground Zero lyrics

CHRISTMAS AT GROUND ZERO

Al Yankovic

It's Christmas at ground zero

There's music in the air

The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing

While the air raid sirens blare

It's Christmas at ground zero

The button has been pressed

The radio just let us know that this is not a test

Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping

It's the end of all humanity

No more time for last minute shopping

It's time to meet your final destiny

It's Christmas at ground zero

There's panic in the crowd

We can trim the tree while we dodge debris

Underneath the mushroom cloud

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop

Or Jack Frost on your windowsill

But if someone's climbing down your chimney

You better load your gun and shoot to kill

It's Christmas at ground zero

And if the radiation level's OK

I'll go out with you and see all the new

Mutations on New Year's Day

It's Christmas at ground zero

Just seconds left to go

I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover

Underneath the mistletoe

It's Christmas at ground zero

Now the missiles are on their way

What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked

On this jolly holiday

What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked

On this jolly holiday
