    THE BOMB SONG

    Oh, it's Sister Jenny's turn to throw the bomb
    The last one it was thrown by Brother Tom
    For Momma's aim is bad
    And the Copski's all know Dad
    So it's Sister Jenny's turn to throw the bomb
    The song's name is "Sister Jenny's Turn to Throw the Bomb." It's a
    fairly common folk tune. I know of at least one recording; it's on
    a tape by Leslie Fish and in fact, is the title cut of said tape.
    Firebird Records carries the tape, but in lieu of some lawsuits they're involved with, I wouldn't trust 'em for mail order; wait for the next
    science fiction convention to come into town.

    NOTE: The opinions expressed here are MINE! ALL MINE!!! So THERE!!!!!

    As best as I can find, the original title was The Bomb Song, author unknown, and the Sister Ginny / Sister Jenny title was applied to some popular re-recordings. I'm still looking for the original songwriter, if anyone comes across it. (Oldest known

    I think the songwriter of the original song, is Daniel Hortis from my research.

    The version Dr. Demento plays is by the Glencoves, B-side of their charted single "Hootenanny".
