[bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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. [bad word] on Wall Street, don't move 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 the trade,
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 [bad word] 
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. [bad word] on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance [bad word] at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only [bad word] is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to [bad word] 
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a [bad word] 
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. [bad word] on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to [bad word] on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your [bad word] home in a box.
And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a [bad word] 
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.
