You can hear this song, and see an image of the record label, at YouTube. There is more discographical information here. I have boldfaced the words that are different from Evan Jones’ post above.


IT’S SISTER GINNY’S TURN TO THROW THE BOMB
Words and music by Peg Horther*
As recorded by The Glencoves on Select Records 45K-724, 1963.

In an old chemist's attic, so dreary and so mean,
Oh, smell the fearful odors of nitroglycerin.**
They're busy building bombs and filling cans with nails,
And little starving kiddies set up this mournful wail:

CHORUS: Oh, it's Sister Ginny's turn to throw the bomb.
The last one it was thrown by Brother John. (Brother John!)
Mama's aim is bad and the coppers all know Dad,
So it's Sister Ginny's turn to throw the bomb!

In her dark and dreary attic all filled with nitro fumes,
They spend each waking hour planning others’ dooms.
They build bombs every morning, so not a day goes by
That*** from some smoking building goes up this mournful cry: CHORUS

They're taught bomb building from the day they're born
And peace is something they all learn to scorn.
They can hardly wait to see the blast and hear the noise
And watch the heads go flying off little girls and boys. CHORUS

She was maiming little children one fine day
When her older brother swore she'd have to pay.
Grit his teeth and pull the pin; the whole darn house caved in,
And I bet she's building bombs below this day. CHORUS

It's sister Ginny's turn to throw the bomb!

** They pronounce “nitroglycerin” so the last syllable rhymes with “mean.”
*** Grammatically, this word should be “but.”
