Well I just got back from Vietnam,

where I saw a baby in a pram.

The next minute it wasn't there,

I was getting paid too much to care.



Now I fought hard for my Purple Heart.

I can stop you if you start.

Going out now on the loose.

Gotta get rid of these Vietname Blues.



Well I just got back from Vietnam.

I got addicted to napalm.

My teeth have rotted, they're just not there.

I was getting paid too much to care.



Well I just got back from Vietnam.

I got blown to bits by a bomb.

My minds gone it's just not there.

I was getting paid too much to care.



Well I just got back from Vietnam.

Although I'm really only half a man.

My wife's left, divorce coming through.

I got no money what can I do ?
