Viet Nam

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
