Nothing happened in ‘59, and nothing’s gonna happen in 1960
Everyone sat on a hot sandy beach and ignored our nuclear age
Come jump the waves that crash on the shore
We’re never gonna die in a nuclear war
You look really cute in your bathing suit
And I’m hotter than a mushroom cloud - oh oh oh
Nothing happened when we were nineteen, and nothing’s gonna happen now that we are twenty
Everyone kissed underneath the stars, knowing we could die any day
Come dance with me to Dave “Baby” Cortez
Let’s ignore everything the President says
You’d be such a hunk in the nuclear bunker
(Let’s) start the human race again - oh oh oh
Nothing happened when we were in school, and nothing’s gonna happen now that we’ve left school
Janie got a job and Leon got a job and Dick went to Vietnam
Lay out the blanket on the perfect sand
This is what the Bible calls the promised land
You look such a dish that I almost wish
We could duck and cover every day - oh oh oh
Nothing happened in ‘59, and nothing’s gonna happen in 1960
Everything’ll stay just exactly the same like a taxidermy fish in a frame
I can do the twist and the box-step, baby
Let’s ignore the dread that consumes us daily
I feel mighty fine with your little hand in mine
Living here directly in harm’s way - oh oh oh
