Lyrics
Come on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
Put down your books, pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
The next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Yeah, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
Come on Wall Street, don't be slow
Why man, this is war-a-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
Supplying the army with the tools of the trade
Dress up and pray that 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
The next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Yeah, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
Come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can't go out and get those Reds
Only get Communists one that's dead
You know that peace can only be won
When they'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
The next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Yeah, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
Come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to Vietnam
Come on fathers, don't hesitate
Send your daughters off before it's too late
Be the first one on your block
To have your kids come home in a box
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
The next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Yeah, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
