DLook out, look out from your schoolroom window!
DLook up, young children, from your Aplay!
DWave your hand at the shining airplane,
Such a beautiful Asight is Enola DGay.
DIt's many a mile, from the Utah desert
DTo Tinian Island far Aaway,
DStanding guard, by the barb-wire fences
That hide the sAecret of Enola DGay.
DHigh above the clouds in the sunlit silence,
DSo peaceful here, I'd like to Astay.
DThere's many a pilot who'd swap his pension
For a chance to fAly Enola DGay.
DWhat is that sound high above my city?
DI rush outside and search the Asky.
DNow we are running to find the shelters,
Hearing sirens Astart to Dcry.
DWhat will I say when my children ask me,
DWhere was I flying up on that Aday?
DWith trembling voice I gave the order
To the bombarAdier of Enola DGay.
DLook out, look out from your schoolroom window;
DLook up, young children, from your Aplay.
DYour bright young eyes will turn to ashes
In the blinding lAight of Enola DGay.
DI turn to see the fireball rising.
D"My God, My God," all I can Asay.
DI hear a voice within me crying,
"My mother's Aname was Enola DGay."
DLook out, look out from your schoolroom window;
DLook up, young children, from your Aplay.
DOh, when you see the warplanes flying,
Each one is Anamed Enola DGay.

Look up, young children, from your play!

Wave your hand at the shining airplane,

Such a beautiful sight is Enola Gay.

It's many a mile, from the Utah desert

To Tinian Island far away,

Standing guard, by the barb-wire fences

So peaceful here, I'd like to stay.

There's many a pilot who'd swap his pension

I rush outside and search the sky.

Now we are running to find the shelters,

Hearing sirens start to cry.

What will I say when my children ask me,

Where was I flying up on that day?

With trembling voice I gave the order

To the bombardier of Enola Gay.

Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;

Look up, young children, from your play.

Your bright young eyes will turn to ashes

In the blinding light of Enola Gay.

I turn to see the fireball rising.

"My God, My God," all I can say.

I hear a voice within me crying,

"My mother's name was Enola Gay."

Look out, look out from your schoolroom window;

Look up, young children, from your play.

Oh, when you see the warplanes flying,
