gonna be a blackout tonight lyrics

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna nail a black curtain up good an' tight
Gonna do what my air raid man says it's right
I'm gonna pull down my shades an' turn out my 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 it's right
Blackout tonight
Pull down my shades an' turn out the light

Lights will go out all over town
The air raid warden walks up and down
It's part of the war I'm gonna do 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 it's right
Blackout tonight
Pull down my shades an' turn out the light

My town is big and my town is bright
My town can work and my town can fight
Lights will go out all over town
The air raid warden walks up and down
'Cause it's part of the war I'm gonna do 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 it's right
Blackout tonight
Pull down my shades an' turn out the light
