All clear, wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes Seemed a good idea To drop a bomb on the wasteland here Only one man could be seen And he was old and so serene Captain sat in his deck chair And the red light flashed, beware And the pilot felt quite big-time As the bomb sailed through the air Captain sang and sang And the bang went bang And their eyes popped out When the smoke began to clear It was positively queer All clear, wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes "Die," said the General "Cobblers," said the man So the Pentagon sent a telegram 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 greenish tan Voice said, "Sir There's a crack in the world" And the rivers went "Splash" And the bits flew far and wide Ah, the universe sighed All clear, wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes All clear, wail the sirens Sunshine on the wasteland Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise Right between the eyes When the smoke had blown away There was nothing left to view Except a man, dear Lord, who looked like you Used to look, my Holy book Those were David Bowie on piano And an amazing pair of trousers And that's going to appear on an LP That could very easily be called "Hunky Dory" When it finally comes out Umm, that's if we can find out how "Hunky Dory" is spelt This next one, the lineup remains the same But it's gonna be recorded as a single by Arnold Corn Who I mentioned earlier, the group And it's called "Looking For A Friend" And I think that's about it for this one
