The countdown has started to go
Computers are locked on their foes
The president is on his way
Down to live another day

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go

The fail safety mechanism is off
The baby lies sleeping in its cot
The mother reads her magazine
Her son's in the kitchen eating ice cream

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go

The 4 minutes warning starts to go
Soon you'll be dead you'll never know
It's started to lift off its pad
It's on its way isn't that sad

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go

The countdown has started to go
Computers are locked on their foes
Thatcher is on her way
Down to the bunker for another day
