I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die-Rag
(by "Country" Joe McDonald--1965; also sung at Woodstock in 1969)


VERSE:
Come on now, all you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a bit of a jam,
Way down yonder in Vietnam,
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
'Cause we're gonna have a whole lotta fun!

CHORUS:
And it's 1-2-3, what are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's 5-6-7 open up those pearly gates,
There ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoppee! We're all gonna die.

VERSE:
Come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
Why, man this war a go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made,
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.

CHORUS

VERSE:
Now come on generals, let's move fast,
Your big chance is here at last.
Now you can go out and get those "Reds",
'Cause the only good Commie is one that's dead,
And you know that peace can only be won
When you've blown them all to kingdom come.

CHORUS

VERSE:
Now come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
C'mon fathers don't hesitate,
Send your sons off before it's too late,
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

CHORUS:
