Americans celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the Civil War, the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of World War I, and the twentieth anniversary of the end of World War II. So all in all, it’s been good for the war buffs.
Several media outlets have capitalized on all this nostalgia, with emphasis on the songs of various wars, WWI, and WWII. We feel that if any songs are gonna go viral about World War III, we’d better start sharing ASAP.
This is the song that some of the boys will sing as they bravely go off to battle in World War III.
So long, PoP and MoM
I'm off to drop the Bomb
So don't wait up for me
But while you swelter
Down there in your shelter
You can see me
On your TV
While we're attacking frontally
Watch (NBC) Brin-k-ley and Hun-t-ley
Describing contrapuntally
The cities we have lost
No need for you to miss a minute
Of the agonizing holocaust
Yeah!
Little Johnny Jones
He was a US pilot
And no shrinking violet
Was he, he was mighty proud
When World War III was declared
He wasn't scared
No siree!
And this is what he said on
His way to Armageddon:
So long, Dad and MoM
I'm off to drop the Bomb
So don't wait up for me
But though I may roam
I'll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris
Remember, daddy and mommy!
I'm off to get a commie
So send me a salami
And try to smile somehow
I'll look for you
When the war is over
An hour and a half from now

Tom Lehrer is a remarkable American figure known for his comic songs in the 1950s and 1960s. Lehrer, a mathematics prodigy, entered Harvard at 15 in 1943, achieving a first-class degree at 18 and a master's a year later. His dedication to the public good over his private interests is truly inspiring. At over 90 years old, Lehrer, a talented pianist, singer, and satirist, has left a lasting impact. https://tomlehrersongs.com/
