Verse 1:

C                   Caug
 No one likes us, I don't know why.
   E7                      A7
We may not be perfect, but Heaven knows we try.
    Fmaj7                   Fm
And all around us, even our old friends put us down,
      C                 G7#5     G13
Let's drop the big one; see what happens.

Verse 2:

   C                    Caug
We give them money, but are they grateful?
E7                   A7
 No, their spiteful, and their hateful.
     Fmaj7                Fm
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them;
      C                 G7#5  G13
We'll drop the big one; pulve-rize them.

Verse 3:

C                Caug
 Asia's crowded, Europe's too old,
E7                        A7
 Africa is far to hot and Canada's too cold.
    Fmaj7         Fm
And South America stole our name,
      C                             G7#5           G13
Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us.

Bridge 1:

F               C
 We'll save Aus-tralia;
F                            C
 Don't want to hurt no kanga-roo.
F                              C
 We'll build an all American a-musement park there;
G7
 They got surfing too.

Verse 3:

C                   Caug
 Boom! goes London, boom! Pa-reee,
E7                           A7
 More room for you, and more room for me.
    Fmaj7           Fm
And every city, the whole world 'round;
     C                 A7
Will just be another A-merican town.

        D7                             G7
Oh, how peaceful it will be; we'll set everybody free,
              E7                               A7
You'll wear a Japanese Kimono babe, it'll be I-talian shoes for me.

Coda:

         F           C
They all hate us any-how,
         D        F       C
So let's drop the big one now.
      D        F       C
Let's drop the big one now.
