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 strike no light and don't cause a riot There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight 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
