Well Come on all you big strong men
Uncle sam needs your help again
Hes got hiself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up your guns
cause were gonna have a whole lot of fun
Chorus:
And its one two three
what are we fighting for, dont ask me I dont give a damn
next stop is vietnam
and its five six seven open up the pearly gates
well there aint no time to wonder why
whoopie were all going to die
Come on generals let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Gotta get out and kill them reds
'Cause the only good commie is one that's dead
The only way that peace'll be won
Is when we blow 'em all to kingdom come
Chorus
Now come on Wall Street don't be slow
This war is a go go go
Lots of money to be made
Supplying the army with the tools of trade
Just be sure when you drop the bomb
That you drop it the Viet Cong
Chorus
Come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to VietNam
Come on fathers don't hesitate
Get 'em there before it's too late
You can be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box
Chorus
