Lyrics

[Billy:] "Four minutes and counting."
 [Jim:] "O.K."
 [Billy:] "They pressed the button, Jim."
 [Jim:] "They pressed the button Billy, what button?"
 [Billy:] "The big red one."
 [Jim:] "You mean THE button?"
 [Billy:] "Goodbye, Jim."
 [Jim:] "Goodbye!
 Oh yes
 This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye!
 Ha! Ha!
 This is KAOS
 It's a beautiful, balmy
 Southern California summer day
 It's 80 degrees...
 I said balmy...
 I could say bomby
 Ha! Ha!
 O.K.
 I'm Jim and this is Radio KAOS
 And with only four minutes left to us
 Let's use this as wisely as possible...
 ([Molly:] Everybody got someone they call home)
 Out at Dodger Stadium
 It's the bottom of the seventh
 The Dodgers are leading three to nothing over the Giants
 And for those of you who are looking to go surfing tomorrow
 Too bad
 (Telephone rings)
 I'm kinda lost in here to tell you the truth
 O.K., good
 Ladies and gentlemen
 If the reports that we are getting are correct
 This could be it
 Billy, if you're listening to me
 Please call now."
 After a near miss on a plane
 You swear you'll never fly again
 After the first kiss when you make up
 You swear you'll never break up again
 And when you've just run a red light
 Sit shaking under the street light
 You swear to yourself
 You'll never drink and drive again
 (Sometimes I feel like going home)
 You swear you'll never let things go by again
 (Sometimes I miss the rain and snow)
 And you'll never toe the party line again
 And when the east wind blows
 Sometimes I feel like going home
 [Jim:] "Billy, if you are listening, please call."
 [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes."
 [Molly:] "Goodbye little spy in the sky
 They say that cameras don't lie
 Am I happy
 Am I sad
 Am I good
 Am I bad?"
 [Jim:] "Billy, if you're listening, please call."
 [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes
 Sole has no eyes."
 [Billy:] "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
 [Margaret Thatcher:] "Our own independent nuclear deterrent
 Has helped to keep the peace."
 [Billy:] "Six, five four, three..."
 [Ordinary Person:] "...you've go a job..."
 [Billy:] "Two, one..."
 [Margaret Thatcher:] "For nearly forty years"
 [Jim:] "Goodbye Billy."
