Boom baby boom baby where are you? The whole round world's turned black and blue Wake up tomorrow what you gonna do Laugh baby cry baby boom baby where are you? (Boom baby where are you? The whole round world's gone black and blue Wake up tomorrow what you gonna do Laugh baby cry baby where are you?) Ah say can you see from miles away Wading through the petrol slick at Half-Moon Bay Ah so sorry that you can't come out And see for yourself what this brave new world is all about Fanned out in concentric circles in dustbowl brown The triple killzone running round the old agro town Froze in fatal shades of biochemical surprise Globally warmed-over for your unseeing eyes Boom baby boom baby where are you?

(Boom baby where are you The whole round world gone black and blue Wake up tomorrow what you gonna do Laugh baby boom baby where are you?)
