The Button Pusher
This folk song was written by Enoch Kent.
Made famous by The Dubliners with Luke Kelly singing.
It's a comical song about a man in charge of a nuclear bomb.
G D G
Well I am the man, the well-fed man, in charge of the terrible knob,
G C Em
The most pleasing thing about it, it's almost a permanent job,
C G D
When the atom war is over, and the world is split in three,
G Em D G
A conso-lation I got, well maybe it's not,_there'll_be nobody left but me.
G D G
I sit at my desk in Washington in charge of this great ma-chine
G C Em
More vicious than Adolf Hitler, more deadly than strich-nine
C G D
And in the ev'ning after_a_ti-ring_day_just_to_give myself a laugh
G Em D G
I hit the button_a_playful belt and_I li-sten for the blast
G D G
If Breshniev starts his nonsense, and makes a nasty spell
G C Em
With a wink and a nod from Nixon, I'll blast them a-ll to hell
C G D
And as_for_that Fidel Castro, him with the sugar cane,
G Em D G
He needn't hide be-hind his_whiskers, I'll get him ju-st the same.
G D G
If my wife denies me conjugular rights or my breakfast milk is sour
G C Em
From eight to nine in the morning you're in_for_a nervous hour,
C G D
The button being so terribly close it's really a dreadful joke
G Em D G
Abut with my arse, as I go past_and_we'll all go up in smoke.
G D G
Now I'm thinking of joining the army, the army that bans the bomb
G C Em
We'll take up a large collection, and I'll dona-te my thumb,
C G D
For with-out it, I am helpless, and that's the wa-y to be
G Em D G
You don't have_to_kill the whole bloody lo-t to make the people free.
