Country Joe & The Fish - I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag lyrics

rate me

Well, come on all of you, big strong men,<br />

Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />

He's got himself in a terrible jam<br />

Way down yonder in Vietnam<br />

So put down your books and pick up a gun,<br />

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun. <br />

<br />

And it's one, two, three,<br />

What are we fighting for ?<br />

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,<br />

Next stop is Vietnam;<br />

And it's five, six, seven,<br />

Open up the pearly gates,<br />

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,<br />

Whoopee! we're all gonna die. <br />

<br />

Come on Wall Street, don't be slow,<br />

Why man, this is war au-go-go<br />

There's plenty good money to be made<br />

By supplying the Army with the tools of it's trade,<br />

But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,<br />

They drop it on the Viet Cong. <br />

<br />

And it's one, two, three,<br />

What are we fighting for ?<br />

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,<br />

Next stop is Vietnam.<br />

And it's five, six, seven,<br />

Open up the pearly gates,<br />

Well there ain't no time to wonder why<br />

Whoopee! we're all gonna die. <br />

<br />

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;<br />

Your big chance has come at last.<br />

Now you can go out and get those reds<br />

'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead<br />

And you know that peace can only be won<br />

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come. <br />

<br />

And it's one, two, three,<br />

What are we fighting for ?<br />

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,<br />

Next stop is Vietnam;<br />

And it's five, six, seven,<br />

Open up the pearly gates,<br />

Well there ain't no time to wonder why<br />

Whoopee! we're all gonna die. <br />

<br />

Come on mothers throughout the land,<br />

Pack your boys off to Vietnam.<br />

Come on fathers, and don't hesitate<br />

To send
