I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag - Country Joe McDonald

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
