Come all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
Put down your books, pick up your gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates
Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die
Come on, generals, you better move fast
This here war has come at last
Gotta go out and kill them reds
Only good commie is the one who's dead
We know peace can only be won
When you blow 'em all to kingdom come
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates
Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die

Come on, Wall Street, don't be slow
This here war is all the go
Lots of good money to be made
Selling the army the tools of the trade
Only hope when they drop the bomb
They drop it on the Viet Cong
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates
Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die
Come on, mothers throughout the land
Send your boys to Vietnam
Come on, pops, don't hesitate
Pack 'em off before it's too late
Be the first parent on your block
To bring your boy home in a box
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates
Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die
