Lyrics
English: Your daddy's in Vietnam tonight / Thinking of sweet little you / Mama write me every day all about you / And she sent me a big picture of you / Although I've never seen you, I love you so / I want you in my arms, your daddy's bundle of joy / Your daddy's in Vietnam tonight / Thinking of sweet little you / It's all I can give so that people can live / And can keep raising little children like you / Some day when you are older and have children of your own / Then you'll understand why you and mummy are alone
