"Die" said the General, "cobblers" said the man So the Pentagon sent a cable, and the Queen a telegram A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones ripped apart that sand 'Til the stench was just revolting!, and the sky a green-ish tan But the soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world" And the figures went "squash", and the bits flew far and wide How the universe sighed! When the smoke had blown away, there was nothing left to view Except a man, dear Lord!, he look like you Floating high, up in the sky...
