Hey Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
|
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
|
|
Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in Vietnam
|
And this is what he had to say:
|
'Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
|
My time'll be up some time in June
|
Don't forget', he said, 'to tell my sweet Mary
|
Her golden lips are sweet as cherry'
|
|
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
|
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
|
|
It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
|
It was addressed from Vietnam
|
Now mistress Brown, she lives in the USA
|
And this is what she wrote and said:
|
'Don't be alarmed', she told me the telegram said
|
'But mistress Brown your son is dead'
|
|
And it came from Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam
|
Vietnam, Vietnam - hey - Vietnam
|
Somebody please stop that war now!
|
|
Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam - oh
|
Vietnam, Vietnam - oh - Vietnam, oh oh oh oh - somebody please stop it
|
Vietnam, Vietnam - oh - Vietnam, Vietnam, oh oh oh oh
|
Vietnam - hey - Vietnam - aha - Vietnam - oh oh yeah
|
I wanna say now somebody stop that war - Vietnam .... - oh yeah, aha ....
