Lyrics
[Verse 1] It's the drink that you don't pour Now when you take one sip, you won't need anymore You're small as a beetle or big as a whale Boom Atomic cocktail

[Verse 2] Falls and splash all around the place When you see it coming, just grab your suitcase It'll send you through the sky like airmail Boom Atomic cocktail

[Chorus] You push a button, turn a dial Your work is done for miles and miles When it hits, it's bound to shake Because it feel just like an earthquake

[Verse 3] That's the drink that you don't pour When you take one sip, you won't need anymore You're small as a beetle or big as a whale Boom Atomic cocktail

(Instrumental Break)

[Chorus] Push a button, turn a dial Your work is done for miles and miles When it hits, it's bound to shake Because it feels like an earthquake

[Verse 4] That's the drink that you don't pour Now when you take one sip, you won't need anymore If you're small as a beetle or big as a whale Boom Atomic cocktail
