There's a shadow on his photograph

On Tinian '45

Smiling like a college boy

Who's glad to be alive

But now he owns a factory

And a store in Los Alamos

A wife called Beverly

Sells second hand

Ford motors



He may have taken pictures

Been caught in Albuquerque

Flown in Great Artiste

On a mushroom cloud

Now he may be a Senator

A General or a Turn Key

But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now



And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night



And he may have been with Oppenheimer

Shaken Einsteins hand

Said did we have to drop the bomb

You bet to save this land

He was only taking pictures

Around the critical mass

While the troops on Tinian island

Sang Follow the bouncing ball

White Christmas



He may have been a nationalist

A physicist or a pacifist

But he's just taking pictures

And he'll do it anyhow

Well I have seen that movie

Of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde

And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now



And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night



And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night

And he cries all night
