The Mini Nuke Juke

+ Show full styles

[Intro] (Upbeat, brassy swing jazz intro, maybe a quick trumpet flourish) Alright, listen up you smooth operators! Got a new dance craze sweepin' the wastes! It's got rhythm, it's got style, and it might just save your life! [Verse 1] The sirens wail a mournful sound, the air is thick with dread, Another skirmish breaking out, right over my poor head. Got my Pip-Boy blinking red, a Geiger counter's hum, But I ain't got no time to fret, before the big one comes! See a Super Mutant to my left, a Deathclaw to my right, But I just gotta keep on movin', through this radioactive night! [Pre-Chorus] The dust is kicking, bullets flyin', ain't no time to stand and stare, Gotta weave and bob and shimmy, with a hop and a prayer! My feet are tappin', fingers snappin', ain't no room for fear or doubt, Just gotta get my rhythm workin', and wiggle my way out! [Chorus] So I do the Mini Nuke Juke, a quick little step and sway, Dodgin' fire, higher, higher, livin' for another day! Yeah, the Mini Nuke Juke, a spin and a dip, a daring leap, Gotta make it to my Vault door, before the dark takes over deep! Boom! Bang! Watch me swing! It's the Mini Nuke Juke! [Verse 2] Passed a burning automobile, a robot on the fritz, Radiation's climbing steady, makin' me do all kinds of fits. Raiders shoutin', laser fire, glowing ones a-moan, But I got a rhythm in my soul, gonna make it home alone! See that mushroom cloud horizon, getting bigger by the minute now, Gotta find that safe haven, somehow, anyhow, wow! [Pre-Chorus] The dust is kicking, bullets flyin', ain't no time to stand and stare, Gotta weave and bob and shimmy, with a hop and a prayer! My feet are tappin', fingers snappin', ain't no room for fear or doubt, Just gotta get my rhythm workin', and wiggle my way out! [Chorus] So I do the Mini Nuke Juke, a quick little step and sway, Dodgin' fire, higher, higher, livin' for another day! Yeah, the Mini Nuke Juke, a spin and a dip, a daring leap, Gotta make it to my Vault door, before the dark takes over deep! Boom! Bang! Watch me swing! It's the Mini Nuke Juke! [Bridge] They say the end is coming fast, a final, fiery flash, But I'll be dancin' to the last, turning danger into dash! Through the rubble, through the dust, past the chaos and the strife, Got my dance moves, sure to trust, to get me back to life! One last twirl, a final pivot, oh the tension's getting tight! Gotta make it, gotta move it, through this blinding light! [Saxophone Solo - frantic, swinging, playful but intense] [Chorus] So I do the Mini Nuke Juke, a quick little step and sway, Dodgin' fire, higher, higher, livin' for another day! Yeah, the Mini Nuke Juke, a spin and a dip, a daring leap, Gotta make it to my Vault door, before the dark takes over deep! Boom! Bang! Watch me swing! It's the Mini Nuke Juke! [Outro] (Sound of a distant explosion, then a record scratch, followed by a triumphant, slightly breathless laugh and a final jazz chord fading out, perhaps a faint "Whew!") Yeah! Made it! Just in time!
