The Fish Cheer & I-Feel-Like-I'm Fixin'-To-Die Rag Composer(s): Country Joe McDonald Performer(s): Country Joe and The Fish
Gimme an F! F! Gimme an I! I! Gimme an S! S! Gimme an H! H! What's that spell? Fish! What's that spell? Fish! What's that spell? Fish!
Yeah, 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 Vietnam 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 damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Well, come on generals, let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Gotta go out and get those reds The only good commie is the one who's dead And you know that peace can only be won When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come
And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Huh!
Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow Why man, this is war au-go-go There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb They drop it on the Viet Cong
And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die
Well, come on mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Vietnam Come on fathers, don't hesitate Send 'em off before it's too late Be the first one on your block To have your boy come home in a box
And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die
