rate me

Yeah, 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>

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

Your big chance has come at last.<br>

Gotta go out and get those reds —<br>

The only good commie is the one who'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>

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move 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 the trade,<br>

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 mothers throughout the land,<br>

Pack your boys off to Vietnam.<br>

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

Send 'em off before it's too late.<br>

Be the first one on your block<br>

To have your boy come home in a box.<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>
