Light Drops

The weather forecast

It will be cloudy today

With a bomb or two

But kids will still find sunlight

And shower town with light drops

Collect warheads

Collect warheads of

Nuclear missiles on the earth

Send them to Jupiter

'Cause peach trees will be blooming

Next spring on the brown planet
