Nuketown Jive

(ooh-wah, ooh-wah, shooby-doo-wop)

Welcome to the neighborhood,

the lawns are cut so neat

With pretty pastel houses on a quiet little street

But don't you look too closely

at the family next door

They're made of plastic,

head to toe, standing on the floor

(mm-hmm) Oh, we're moving to Nuketown,

under sunny skies Where the countdown timer starts and the siren cries

Hold your darlin' tight before the whistle blows That's just the way

the story goes (boom-ba-boom)

There's a yellow school bus

sitting in the center lane

And a moving truck that's empty in the autumn rain

Run inside the bedroom,

climb up to the second floor

Keep your eyes on the backyard and lock the yellow door

Ten, nine, eight, the clock is ticking fast We knew this perfect

little street

could never last (tick tock,

tick tock)

Oh, we're moving to Nuketown,

under sunny skies Where the countdown timer starts and the siren cries

Hold your darlin' tight before the whistle blows That's just the way

the story goes (boom-ba-boom)

Goodbye to the kitchen,

goodbye to the lawn When the bright flash comes,

we'll all

be gone (ooh-wah, ooh-wah)

(goodnight, Nuketown...)
