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 bom
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 ?
