[Verse: Buck Dharma & Eric Bloom]
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
[Chorus: Buck Dharma & Eric Bloom]
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
Godzilla! (zilla, zilla)
God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla)
God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla)
God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla)
God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla)

God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla) God (zilla)
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!

[Chorus: Buck Dharma & Eric Bloom]
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go! Go! Godzilla, yeah
[Outro: Buck Dharma & Eric Bloom]
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of man
Godzilla!
Godzilla was written by Buck Dharma.
Godzilla was produced by Murray Krugman & Sandy Pearlman & David Lucas & Blue Öyster Cult.
I wasn’t watching when I wrote it but I was a big fan of the Raymond Burr Americanization of the Toho Godzilla films. When I came up with the guitar riff in a hotel room in Dallas it made me think of Godzilla and the lyrics came quickly.
