I called the big man at the field

And I told him what he'd done

He laughed and said "Go back to bed,
                    
My boys just having fun
                  
My boys just having fun"

I said, "First you killed my chickens

Then you wiped out all my sheep"

He said, "Don't you know we're protecting you
                  
Now go on back to sleep",
                      
He said, "Go on back to sleep"

Sonic booms they killed my chickens

A sonic boom well it treed my cow

Sonic booms bust my dishes
                              
Them jets are bound to get me now
                            
Them jets are bound to get me now

So if you were yelled at as a boy

For slamming your screen door

And swore that you'd get back at Mom
                        
If it took ten years or more
                      
If it took ten years or more

Well you can join the men that fly at night

And protect us while we sleep

You can make a boom that'll kill your Mom
                        
And she'll never make a peep
                     
No she'll never make a peep
           
A sonic boom shocked my horses
          
Sonic boom squashed my goats
            
Sonic boom'll fry your brain
                            
Until you want to slit your throat
                           
Until you want to slit your throat
           
A sonic boom shocked my horses
         
Sonic boom squashed my goats
            
Sonic boom'll fry your brain
                            
Until you want to slit your throat
                          
Until you want to slit your throat
