Aw C'mon all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again got
himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Viet Nam put down your books
and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lot of fun and it's one,two,three
what are we fightin'for? don't ask me I don't give a damn next stop is Viet
Nam and it's five,six,seven open up your pearly gates!well there ain't no
time to wonder why,whoopee we're all gonna die!
now c'mon Wall street don't move slow why man this war a go go there's
plenty good money to be made supplying the Army with the tools of the trade
just hope and pray when they drop the bomb they drop it on the viet cong
and it's one,two,three,what are we fightin'for?don't ask me I don't give a
damn next stop is Viet Nam and it's five,six,seven,open up your pearly gates
well there ain't no time to wonder why whoopee we're all gonna die
now C'mon generals let's move fast your big chance is here at last now you
can go out and get those reds cause the only good commie is one that's dead
you know that peace can only be won when we blow em all to kingdom come
one,two,three,what are we fightin'for?don't ask me I don't give a damn next
stop is Viet Nam and it's five,six,seven,open up your pearly gates well
there ain't no time to wonder why whoopee we're all gonna di
now C'mon mothers throughout the land pack your boys off to Viet Nam C'mon
fathers don't hesitate to send your sons off before it's too late! be the
first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box!
and it's one,two,three,what are we fightin'for?don't ask me I don't give a
damn next stop is Viet Nam,and it's five,six,seven,open up your pearly gates
well there ain't no time to wonder why whoopee we're all gonna die!
