    Come on all of you big strong men
    Uncle Sam needs your help again
    he's got himself in a terrible jam
    way down yonder in IRAQ so
    put down your books and pick up a gun we're
    gonna have a whole lotta fun


    (CHORUS)
    And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
    don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is IRAQ
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
    ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die


    Come on generals, let's move fast
    your big chance has come at last
    now you can go out and get those reds
    cos the only good commie is the one that's dead and
    you know that peace can only be won when we've
    blown 'em all to kingdom come


    Come on wall street don't be slow
    why man this war is a go-go
    there's plenty good money to be made by
    supplying the army with the tools of its trade
    let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
    they drop it on the IRAQI PEOPLE


    Come on mothers throughout the land
    pack your boys off to IRAQ
    come on fathers don't hesitate
    send your sons off before it's too late
    and you can be the first ones on your block
    to have your boy come home in a box

    (CHORUS)
    And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
    don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is IRAG
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
    ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die

    WEll that's CRAP!
    My version is a LOT better.
    I wrote it two months ago.

    "And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
    don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Iraqi-land!
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
    ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee George W. Lied!"

    "Come on people, let's move fast
    Dubya's chance has come at last
    Let's go out back and lynch the prick,
    You all know that he's a dick!"

    I don't have the rest of it, because I had to turn in my writing journal to my Creative Writing class...
    I'll get it back soon.

    my version rhymes :):
    Come on all of you big strong men
    Uncle Sam needs your help again
    he's got himself in a terrible spot
    way down yonder in Iraq
    so put down your books and pick up a gun we're
    gonna have a whole lotta fun

    And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
    don't ask me I don't give a crap, next stop is Iraq
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
    ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die

    "I'm on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move, check it out I'm rockin' steady to the beat in my head, it goes oh oh oh oh. She's the only one, I'd rather waste our time together now 'cause we can get down!"

    All these edited versions suck ass...I'd show you the one I wrote and will record it soon, but I want to get the lyrics copyrighted...I was told by someone cool ( ;) ) to perform it first and get it heard, because of some stupid internet copyright law that allows people to get away with the stealing of lyrics, etc etc.

    The original was the first song I ever learned to play on guitar :p

    My long time friend was the first father on our block to have his kid come in a box.

    No matter which of the above versions you like better the reality of the whole thing sucks. My son turns 18 next month. I can't even listen to his talk about joining up, it frightens me more than anything else.

    It is a scary thing, but thats why the satire is there. It is used to make people see how ridiculous it all is.

    don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is IRAQ
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
