Lyrics
English: Let me tell you about my Uncle Sam / There ain't no communists, gonna live in South Vietnam / Over here in America, they do as they please / Here they're burning their draft cards, getting thick as fleas / Everybody on the Democrats are knocking and chewing / They know exactly what their doing / They know what this war is all about / It's the North Viet Congs trying to come south... / And it won't be too long before we do what we say / We will, we'll get down to visit, drive the enemy away... / Tie and top and his stripped coat / He's going to get himself a herd of mountain goats / Some nights late in the evening you can hear a song / This is the place where the communist dance
