|
Well, come on all of you, big strong men, |
|
Uncle Sam needs your help again. |
|
He's got himself in a terrible jam |
|
Way down yonder in Vietnam |
|
So put down your books and pick up a gun, |
|
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun. |
|
And it's one, two, three, |
|
What are we fighting for ? |
|
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, |
|
Next stop is Vietnam; |
|
And it's five, six, seven, |
|
Open up the pearly gates, |
|
Well there ain't no time to wonder why, |
|
Whoopee! we're all gonna die. |
|
Come on Wall Street, don't be slow, |
|
Why man, this is war au-go-go |
|
There's plenty good money to be made |
|
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade, |
|
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, |
|
They drop it on the Viet Cong. |
|
And it's one, two, three, |
|
What are we fighting for ? |
|
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, |
|
Next stop is Vietnam. |
|
And it's five, six, seven, |
|
Open up the pearly gates, |
|
Well there ain't no time to wonder why |
|
Whoopee! we're all gonna die. |
|
Well, come on generals, let's move fast; |
|
Your big chance has come at last. |
|
Now you can go out and get those reds |
|
'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead |
|
And you know that peace can only be won |
|
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come. |
|
And it's one, two, three, |
|
What are we fighting for ? |
|
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, |
|
Next stop is Vietnam; |
|
And it's five, six, seven, |
|
Open up the pearly gates, |
|
Well there ain't no time to wonder why |
|
Whoopee! we're all gonna die. |
|
Come on mothers throughout the land, |
|
Pack your boys off to Vietnam. |
|
Come on fathers, and don't hesitate |
|
To send your sons off before it's too late. |
|
And you can be the first ones in your block |
|
To have your boy come home in a box. |
|
And it's one, two, three |
|
What are we fighting for ? |
|
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, |
|
Next stop is Vietnam. |
|
And it's five, six, seven, |
|
Open up the pearly gates, |
|
Well there ain't no time to wonder why, |
|
Whoopee! we're all gonna die. |
