Lyrics:

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna nail me a black curtain up good an' tight

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

I'm gonna pull down my shade an' turn out my light

There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight



Cause my town is big and my town is bright

My town can work and my town can fight

So don't stike no light and don't cause a riot

There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight



chorus:

Gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight

Gonna be a blackout

Gonna do what my air raid man says is right

Blackout tonight

Pull down my shade an' turn out the light



Lights will go out all over town

And the air raid warden will walk up and down

It's part of the war, I'm gonna do right

There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight



(chorus)
