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 Vietnam

So put down your books and pick up a gun,

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

Chorus:

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! We’re all gonna die.

2:

D

Come on generals, let's move fast;

G

Your big chance has come at last.

D

Gotta go out and get those reds —

G

The only good commie is the one that's dead

E7 A

You know that peace can only be won

D G

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

[Chorus]

3:

D

Come on Wall Street, don't move slow,

G

Why man, this is war au-go-go.

D

There's plenty good money to be made

G

Supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,

E7 A

Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,

D G

They drop it on the Viet Cong.

[Chorus]

4:

D

Come on mothers throughout the land,

G

Pack your boys off to Vietnam.

D

Come on fathers, don't hesitate,

G

Send your sons off before it's too late.

E7 A

You can be the first one on your block

D G

To have your boy come home in a box.

[Chorus]
