Checking my memory...(no google)

Now, come on all of you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again,
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 lot of fun.

Well it’s 1-2-3 what are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
Well it’s 5-6-7 open up the pearly gates.
Ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee, we’re gonna die!

(that’s all I got)

I was in uniform when Country Joe released the song.

I recall most of the lyrics, especially the edgy..

.Come on fathers, don't hesitate,

Send 'em off before it's too late.

Be the first one on your block

To have your boy come home in a box.

Well at least he blamed LBJ for the war, and not Nixon, like all the other lefties do, as if LBJ never existed.
