Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna nail me black curtain up good an' tight

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

I'm gonna pull down my shade an' turn out the light

There's gonna be a blackout tonight



Cause my town is big and my town is bright

My town can work and my town can fight

So don't strike no light and don't cause a riot

There's gonna be a blackout tonight



Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout,

Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

Blackout tonight

Pull down the shade an' turn out the light



Lights go out all over town

The air raid warden walks up and down

It's part of the war, I'm gonna do it right

There's gonna be a blackout tonight



Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout

Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

Blackout tonight

Pull down the shade an' turn out the light



My town is big and my town is bright

My town can work and my town can fight



Lights go out all over town

The air raid warden walks up and down

It's part of the war, I'm gonna do it right

There's gonna be a blackout tonight



Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout

Blackout tonight, gonna be a blackout

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

Blackout tonight

Pull down the shade an' turn out the light
