[Verse 1] Dusting off my bowtie, shinin' up my shoes, Steppin' out the **Vault-Tec Vault**, banishing the blues! The world's a little greener, the sky's a hazy gray, But this Vault Dweller's ready, to brighten up your day! Got my manners polished, my ideals all neat, Bringing back the good times, with a jazzy, swinging beat! [Chorus] Oh, **Smooth Skins, Ghouls, and Mutants**, listen close to me! I'm bringing **civilization**, for all the world to see! With a little bit of romance, and a charming, witty word, Gonna teach you 'bout **America**, the greatest land you've heard! Yeah, we the **Vault Dwellers** are here to make things right, Gonna save you from the darkness, with our shining, glorious light! [Verse 2] Met a fella in a raider hat, looked a little grim, Told him 'bout democracy, from a fancy, polished hymn. Saw a super mutant grumble, heard a ghoul just sigh, Offered them a Nuka-Cola, beneath the open sky! They might look a little rough, they might seem quite absurd, But everyone loves progress, once they hear the Vault-Tec word! [Chorus] Oh, **Smooth Skins, Ghouls, and Mutants**, listen close to me! I'm bringing **civilization**, for all the world to see! With a little bit of romance, and a charming, witty word, Gonna teach you 'bout **America**, the greatest land you've heard! Yeah, we the **Vault Dwellers** are here to make things right, Gonna save you from the darkness, with our shining, glorious light! [Bridge] Now, a little bit of rhythm, a little bit of grace, Can change a broken wasteland, into a happy place. So take my hand, my darling, let me lead you on the floor, Forget your savage instincts, and learn what peace is for! With a smile and a twinkle, and a lesson oh so grand, We'll rebuild the nation, right here in this land! [Chorus] Oh, **Smooth Skins, Ghouls, and Mutants**, listen close to me! I'm bringing **civilization**, for all the world to see! With a little bit of romance, and a charming, witty word, Gonna teach you 'bout **America**, the greatest land you've heard! Yeah, we the **Vault Dwellers** are here to make things right, Gonna save you from the darkness, with our shining, glorious light! [Outro] So tip your hats, boys and girls, to the future bright and clear, The Vault Dwellers are here, banishing all fear! Civilization's calling, with a jazzy, joyful sound, The greatest nation ever, on this re-built ground! [Instrumental Outro] (Upbeat jazz band fades out with a grand, optimistic flourish)
