Lyrics

[Intro] Gimme an F… Gimme a U… Gimme a C… Gimme a K… What's that spell? What's that spell? What's that spell? What's that spell? What's that spell? [Verse 1] Yeah, 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, a-two, a-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 [Verse 2] Well, come on, generals, let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Gotta go out, get those reds The only good commie is the one who's dead And you know that peace can only be won When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come [Chorus] And it's one, two, a-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 [Verse 2] Well, come on, Wall Street, don't be slow Why man, this is war au-go-go There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb They drop it on the Viet Cong [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 [Verse 3] Well, come on, mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Vietnam Come on, fathers, don't hesitate Send them off 'fore it's too late Be the first ones in your block To have your boy come home in a box [Chorus] And it's one, two, a-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
