Now we must be ready for a new danger - the atomic bomb
We all know the atomic bomb is very dangerous
Since it may be used against us, we must get ready for it
First you duck, and then you cover
And very tightly you cover the back of your neck, your face
Duck and cover under the table
First you duck, and then you cover
Duck and cover – That's the first thing to do
Duck and cover – Wherever you are
Duck and cover – Fast
Duck and cover –
There's not time to look around or wait
You'll know when it comes
There is a bright flash, brighter than the sun
Brighter than anything you've ever seen
And this is very, very important
Duck and cover
If you duck and cover you'll be much safer
If you are not ready or do not know what to do
It could hurt you in different ways
It could knock you down hard or throw you against a tree or a wall
It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings
And knock signboards over
And break windows all over town
You know how a bad sunburn can feel
The atomic bomb flash could burn you worse than a terrible sunburn
That signal means to stop whatever you are doing
And get to the nearest safest place fast
It's a bomb – duck and cover!
Duck and cover – in the school bus
Duck and cover – and do it fast
You duck and cover tight against the wall
Duck and cover – underneath the table or desk
No matter where we live, the city or the country
We must be ready all the time for the atomic bomb
Yes, we must all get ready now
First you duck, and then you cover
Heavy doorways are a good place to duck and cover
Don't wait duck away from the windows
First you duck, and then you cover
And that means we must obey
First obey, then remember
We must obey
Without any warning
First obey, then remember
First you duck, and then you cover
