Genie In the Bottle
Only foolhardy Homer simpletons
wanna rub this lamp ...
Release the purging power of the hydroGen
All divided brainiac Lisa Simpsons
should be in one camp ...
Keeping a cap on the atomic bottle
It’s madness to proceed any other way
To argue otherwise,
will invariably
bring about a terrible, mushroom day
Don’t open the hydroGen bottle,
and pour out the evil jinn
that will corruptly destroy souls
Don’t let the genie out of the bottle,
please have it rainbow ark sealed closed
We can’t open another Nagasaki window
Keep that seductive Jeannie in the bottle,
I don’t wanna dream of her anymore
Close your global eyes to the temptation, I urgently implore
New York, New York —
double helix potion lab concocted
to end a deux World War
Secret Manhattan science project
was bombs away ... Los Alamos
extinction level successful
They released the power of the Atom,
father Kelvin of the Eva hyrodGen
And ever since,
they’ve been drunkenly trying
to put the jinn back in the bottle again
Putting the nuclear toothpaste back in
the textbook tube
is centrifugal enamel hard as sin
Technology got an Empire State
pre-emptive Strike win
But the opened bottle of supernova power,
got so many other nations coveting
Nobody wanted to loophole tie
the uranium loose ends
Therefore, sadly, it’s inevitable ...
another mushroom
Apocalypse primordial soup day
is on the near horizon
Don’t open the hydroGen bottle,
and pour out that intoxicating elixir jinn
that will mutation destroy souls
Don’t let the genie out of the bottle,
please have it brimstone rain sealed closed
We can’t open another Hiroshima window
Keep that Jezebel Jeannie in the bottle,
I don’t wanna ever dream of her anymore
Close your global eyes to the power lure, I strongly implore
Hope that lamp don’t wash up on your shore ...
or Springtime peace you will sorely miss
Mid-summer lips dread her nuclear kiss,
which will make it an ash glow winter forever
They released the power of the Atom,
father Kelvin of the Eva hyrodGen
And ever since,
they’ve been futilely trying
to put the genie back in the bottle again
Don’t set the world on fire!
Make the ancient foundations tremble,
with a uranium shout
Please don’t let the hydroGen Jeannie out,
don’t bottle kiss that power drunk tramp
Place your hand over the mad reactor throttle
Oh please don’t rub that lamp!
Wish to God, you’ll never open that bottle
Don’t let the genie out!
Radio activation is a death message motto
