Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,Uncle Sam needs your help again.He's got himself in a terrible jamWay down yonder in VietnamSo put down your books and pick up a gun,We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.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.Well, come on generals, let's move fast;Your big chance has come at last.Gotta go out and egt those reds ?The only good commie is the one who's deadAnd you know that peace can only be wonWhen we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.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,SongtexteWell there ain't no time to wonder whyWhoopee! we're all gonna die.Huh!Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,Why man, this is war au-go-go.There's plenty good money to be madeBy supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,They drop it on the Viet Cong.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 whyWhoopee! we're all gonna die.Well, come on mothers throughout the land,Pack your boys off to Vietnam.Come on fathers, don't hesitate,Send 'em off before it's too late.Be the first one on your blockTo have your boy come home in a box.And it's one, two, threeWhat 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.
