Country Joe And The Fish - Vietnam Song (Live From Woodstock) lyrics

Intro Spoken
Give me an "F! "F"! give me a "U"! "U"!
Give me a "C"! "C" Give me a "K"! "K"!
WHATS THAT SPELL? "FUCK!" (x5)

Well common all of you big strong men, uncle sam needs your help again,
he got himself in a terrible jam, way down yander in Vietnam,
put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gunna have a whole lotta fun

CHORUS
and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?
don't ask me i don't give a dam, the next stop is Vietnam,
and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates Well there aint no time to wonder whyWHOPEE we're all gunna die

now come on wall street don't be slow, why man this's war a-go-go,
there's plenty good money to be made, supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade,
just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Vietcong

CHORUS

now common generals lets move fast, your big chance is here at last
nite you go out and get those reds cuz the only good commie is one thats dead,
you know that peace can only be won, when you blow em all to kingdom come
CHORUS

(spoken)- listen people i dont know you expect to ever stop the war if you cant sing any better than that theres about 300,000 of you fuc|ers out there i want you to start singing

CHORUS

now common mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to vietnam,
common fathers don't hesitate, send your sons off before its too late,
be the first one on your block, to have your boy come home in a box

CHORUS

Alrite !!!!!!!
