Lyrics:

Well, it was Sunday morning and the preacher gave his warning
Said, "you better get down and pray."
You better listen to me mister, and you listen sister
We're getting close to that great day
You better listen to the teaching of the good book I'm preaching
Said men would fly like birds
But brother do you hear me? These things scare me
I don't know how to put it in words

You better stop them scientists from researching
'Cause they done gone too far
They got these boys flying faster than sound
And the whole world's in a war

Man that atomic energy sure scares me, cause if it will do what they claim
You better start thinking 'bout saving your soul or Sam Johnson ain't my name
Just a plain bomb is bad but that A-bomb is worse
They done named that H-bomb well
Thousand times stronger than an A-bomb is
it's going to blow us all to kingdom come
I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just stating facts
They said they'd build a man-made star
But that's a job I'm going to leave to the lord
I ain't got no business on Mars

You better stop them scientists from researching
'Cause they done gone too far
They got these boys flying faster than sound
And the whole world's in a war

Man that atomic energy sure scares me, cause if it will do what they claim
You better start thinking 'bout saving your soul or Sam Johnson ain't my name
Now I'm thankful for the drugs that kills the bugs
The mosquitos and the mice and the fleas
Instead of us trying to get up to Mars
We better get down on our knees
And thank the good lord for the world we have
and in closing, I got this to say:
If God intended we should go to Mars,
Why'd he put us so far away?

You better stop them scientists from researching
'Cause they done gone too far
They got these boys flying faster than sound
They got the whole world's in a war

Man that atomic energy sure scares me, 'cause if it will do what they claim
You better start thinking 'bout saving your soul or Sam Johnson ain't my name
You think I'm kidding?
Sam Johnson ain't my name
