Country Joe And The Fish - I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die-Rag lyrics

Well, 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 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 Now you can go out and get those reds 'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead And you know that peace can only be won When 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 Well 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 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 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 Come on mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Vietnam Come on fathers, and don't hesitate To send your sons off before it's too late And you can be the first ones in your block To have your boy 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 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
