We were right next to Enola Gay when she dropped the bomb. It was I who got the pictures.Well I didn't put the films in my brassiere or up my ass but I got them. Still I got caught in Albuquerque.

(Harold Agnew) has the paunch of a man of 64 who was an athlete 40 years ago. He looks like Spencer Tracy now
Roger Rosenblatt "Time" July 29 1985
There's a shadow on his photograph,
On Tinian'45,
Smiling like a college boy,
Who's glad to be alive,
But now he owns a factory,
And a store in Los Alamos,
A wife called Beverly,
Sells second hand Ford motors.
He may have taken pictures,
Been caught in Albuquerque,
Flown in "Great Artiste",
On a mushroom cloud,
Now he may be a Senator,
Or a General or a Turn Key,
But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now.
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he may have been with Oppenheimer,
Shaken Einsteins hand,
Said "Did we have to drop the bomb",
"You bet to save this land",
He was only taking pictures.
Around the critical mass,
While the troops on Tinian island,
Sang Follow-the-bouncing-ball,
White Christmas.
He may have been a nationalist,
A physicist or a pacifist,
But he's just taking pictures,
And he'll do it anyhow,
Well I have seen that movie,
Of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde,
And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now.
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
And he cries all night,
