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 Viet Nam,
put down your books and pick up a gun we´re
gonna have a whole Lotta fun.

(Refrain) :
And it´s one, two, three, what are we fighting for
don´t ask me I don´t give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam
And it´s five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
ain´t no time to wonder why, whoopee we´re all gonna die.

Come on wall street don´t be slow
why man this war is a go-go
there´s plenty good money to be made by
supplying the army with the tools of its trade
let´s hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on the Viet Cong.

Come on generals, let´s move fast
your big chance has come at last
now you can go out and get those reds
cos 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.

Come on mothers throughout the land
pack your boys off to Viet Nam
come on fathers don´t hesitate
send your sons off before it´s too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box.
