Things that Happened During the Cold War with Chipmunk vocals

It all started after World War II,
With the Nazis defeated, we had nothing left to do.
But then there were the Soviets, no one hated us more.
And so began the, dreaded Cold War.

With fears of having Communism spread,
Truman preached containment to everything red.
US aligned with a North Atlantic core.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Sputnik satellite orbited in space.
More eager was the nuclear race.
People were fearing, a mushroom cloud roar.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Nuclear bombs were all set to go boom,
US took a flag, and stuck it on the moon.
Still no one could see what was behind that iron door.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

NATO was formed, and so was the Warsaw Pact.
SALT tried to limit, a ballistic missile attack.
Anti-Russia T-shirts, were being sold in stores.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

With Germany divided, the US was miffed.
So they sneakily devised the Berlin Airlift.
Planes went dropping food through an aerial tour.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

U2 spy plane, shot out of the skies.
Hollywood portrayed, Commies as the bad guys.
But Dr. Strangelove, the audience adored.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Fuzzy hats in Russia, never got unhip.
Both governments were practicing brinkmanship.
Tense moments happened on the UN Floor.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Communism kept on refusing to fall.
Berlin put up a really long wall.
Missiles pointing Florida, off the Cuban shore.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Everywhere in the US, Khruschev was feared.
In Cuba Castro was tugging on his beard.
Ivan Drago lost at the end of Rocky IV
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Détente tried to give everyone peace,
Marhsall Plan gave money to Turkey and Greece.
Reagan paid for defense, instead of helping the poor.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

The International anthem, oh how it rocked and rolled.
1980 Olympics, brings the US hockey gold.
We fought in Korea, Vietnam and more.
Things that happened during the Cold War.

Today the Cold War, has come to an end.
But still US borders, we have to defend.
Who really knows, what the future has in store?
Who knows if they’ll be another Cold War.
Who knows if they’ll be another Cold War.
