Lyrics

English: If you want to march don't give me no lip, just pack your bag / And you can take a little trip / There's a mighty long road that all the boys all tell where you can march / It's called the Ho Chi Minh trail / Everybody is carrying a sign these days / Think everything we do should be done a different way / Sam's boys are marching side by side / The banner that they carry is America's pride / Don't let them die / While they are gone just remember that the things you do are important here at home / But if you'd rather march remember, well take your little sign and get on the Ho Chi Minh trail
