Verse 1:
Eb                   Ebaug
 No one likes us, I don't know why.
   G7                      C7
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try.
    Abmaj7                Abm
And all around, even our old friends put us down,
      Eb                    Bb7       Bb 
Let's drop the big one and see what happens.

Verse 2:
   Eb                    Ebaug
We give them money, but are they grateful?
G7                     C7
 No, they're spiteful, and they're hateful.
     Abmaj7                Abm
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them;
      Eb                 Bb7    Bb 
We'll drop the big one; pulve-rize them.

Verse 3:
Eb                Ebaug
 Asia's crowded, Europe's too old,
G7                         C7
 Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold.
    Abmaj7         Abm
And South America stole our name,
      Eb                             Bb7             Bb 
Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us.

Bridge 1:
Ab              Eb
 We'll save Australia;
Ab                           Eb
 Don't want to hurt no kangaroo.
Ab                             Eb
 We'll build an all-American amusement park there;
Bb7
 They got surfing too.

Verse 3:
Eb                   Ebaug
 Boom! goes London, boom! Paree,
G7                           C7
 More room for you, and more room for me.
    Abmaj7           Abm
And every city, the whole world 'round;
     Eb                C7
Will just be another American town.

        F7                             Bb7
Oh, how peaceful it will be; we'll set everybody free,
              G7                              C7
You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe, it'll be Italian shoes for me.

Outro:
         Ab          Eb
They all hate us anyhow,
         F        Ab       Eb
So let's drop the big one now.
      F        Ab       Eb
Let's drop the big one now.

Biography

Randall Stuart “Randy” Newman (born November 28, 1943) is a singer/songwriter, arranger, composer, and pianist who is notable for his mordant (and often satirical) pop songs and for his many film scores.

Newman is noted for his practice of writing lyrics from the perspective of a character far removed from Newman’s own biography. For example, the 1972 song “Sail Away” is written as a slave trader’s sales pitch to attract slaves, while the narrator of “Political Science” is a U.
