This is a Tom Lehrer tune, I think from his album "That Was the Year That Was".
Sounds like:

	First we had the bomb, and that was good,
	'cause we love peace and Motherhood,
	Then Russia got the bomb but that's okay,
	'cause the balance of power's maintained that way.
	  Who's next...
	Then France got the bomb, but don't you grieve,
	'cause they're on our side, I believe,
	Then China got the bomb but have no fears,
	'cause they can't wipe us out for at least five years.
	 Who's next...
	Egypt's gonna get one too,
	Just to use on you-know-who.
	Sooooo,
	Israel's getting tense,
	Wants one in self-defense.
	"The Lord is our shepard," says the psalm,
	But just in case - we wanna get a bomb.

	(Two more verses - don't recall the exact words, however).
