6. Actaully the original lyrics are pretty good

though it's been a long time since someone riffed Country Joe & the 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 a-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.

7. The Fish

I loved this group when I was a youth!

They are one of the most over looked psychedelic era groups in rock history!

guitarist Barry Melton became a full blown lawyer in SAn Fran and the cool thing also is that they have reunions now and then and they're all still alive!

8. Yeah, the memories

The chorus was the street chant heard 'round the world in the late 60's.
Believe it or not, thousands of people would march down the street singing: And its one, two, three...

Country Joe and the Fish, where are you now? We need yall again...

[Vodid]

9. Country Joe is still active...

You can listen to "Cakewalk into Iraq" on his website...

www.CountryJoe.com

Lots of anti-war stuff.

[Vodid]

10. Whoops!

The Country Joe tune is actually entitled "Cakewalk to Baghdad". Sorry for the error. Here's a more direct link to the page where the tune can be heard, along with a huge selection of other music from Country Joe...

Oops...typed this before I saw the link to where Country Joe is. Whoopee! Count me also as a HUGE Country Joe & the Fish fan. They sounded G-r-r-r-r-e-a-t on acid. :evilgrin: Oh, man, those WERE the days. :hippie:
