More than one version?
[edit]Was there a bowdlerised version that was also in circulation in the song's early years? I recall in the early 1980s hearing on a BBC Sunday radio lunchtime programme at home in England this song but my abiding memory of the lyrics until I lately looked the song up on YouTube was (as close as I can quote it) "Dow Jones ain't got time for the bomb", which I took as a reference to the threat of nuclear war or Wall Street complicity in the arms trade. What I found on YouTube and lyric web pages the last word is "bums" - which in US parlance refers to the vagrant population of New York and not (as it tends to in British parlance) posteriors or backsides ("asses" in US parlance). Did such a dual version exist, an example of song censorship to suit different national sensitivities, or is it just "memory playing tricks"? (BTW the usual presenter of that programme was the professedly-moral Jimmy Saville.)Cloptonson (talk) 08:19, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
