It's the drink that you don't pour
Now when you take one sip, you won't need anymore
You're small as a beetle or big as a whale
Boom
Atomic cocktail
Falls and splash all around the place
When you see it coming, just grab your suitcase
It'll send you through the sky like airmail
Boom
Atomic cocktail
You push a button, turn a dial
Your work is done for miles and miles
When it hits, it's bound to shake
Because it feel just like an earthquake
That's the drink that you don't pour
When you take one sip, you won't need anymore
You're small as a beetle or big as a whale
Boom
Atomic cocktail
[Instrumental Break]
Push a button, turn a dial
Your work is done for miles and miles
When it hits, it's bound to shake
Because it feels like an earthquake
That's the drink that you don't pour
Now when you take one sip, you won't need anymore
If you're small as a beetle or big as a whale
Boom
Atomic cocktail
