2. The Fish Cheer & I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixing-to-Die Rag by 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!

3. 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. The Fish Cheer

4. 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. The Fish Cheer

5. Well, come on Wall Street, don’t move slow, Why man, this is war au-go-go. There’s plenty of good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade, Just hope and pray if they drop the bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong. The Fish Cheer

6. 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! The Fish Cheer

7. Well, come on general, 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. The Fish Cheer

8. 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. The Fish Cheer

9. 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 The Fish Cheer

10. 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. The Fish Cheer

11. The Ballad of the Green Berets by SSGT Barry Sadler Fighting soldiers from the sky Fearless men who jump and die Men who mean just what they say The brave men of the Green Beret

12. Silver wings upon their chest These are men, America’s best One hundred men will test today But only three win the Green Beret Trained to live off natures land Trained in combat, hand-to-hand Men who fight by night and day Courage peak from the Green Berets The Ballad of the Green Berets

13. Silver wings upon their chest These are men, America’s best One hundred men will test today But only three win the Green Beret Back at home a young wife waits Her green Beret has met his fate He has died for those oppressed Leaving her his last request The Ballad of the Green Berets

14. “Put silver wings on my son’s chest Make him one of America’s best He’ll be a man they’ll test on day Have him win the Green Beret” The Ballad of the Green Berets

15. I Saw It On T.V. by John Fogerty They sent us home to watch the show comin’ on the little screen; A man named Ike was in the White House, big black limousine; There were many shows to follow, from ‘hooter’ to ‘doodyville’, Though I saw them all, I can’t recall which cartoon was real

16. The coon-skin caps, Yankee bats, the hound dog man’s big start; The a-bomb fears, Annette had ears, I lusted in my heart. A young man from Boston set sail the new frontier, And we watched the dream dead-end in Dallas, They buried innocence that year. I know it’s true, oh so true, ‘cause I saw it on T.V. I Saw it on T.V.

17. We gathered round to hear the sound comin’ on the little screen, The grief had passed, the old men laughed, and all the girls screamed ‘cause four guys from England took us all by the hand, It was time to laugh, time to sing, time to join the band I Saw it on T.V.

18. But all too soon, we hit the moon, and covered up the sky; They built their bombs, and aimed their guns, and still I don’t know why The dominoes tumbled and big business roared; Every night at six, they showed the pictures and counted up the score I know it’s true, oh so true, ‘cause I saw it on T.V. I Saw it on T.V.

19. Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen Born down in a dead man’s town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.

20. Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.

21. Come back home to the refinery Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me” Went down to see my V. A. man He said “Son, don’t you understand” I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong They’re still there, he’s all gone Born in the U.S.A.

22. He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now Down in the shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I’m ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go Born in the U.S.A.

23. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.

24. Okie from Muskogee by Merle Haggard We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee; We don’t take no trips on LSD We don’t burn no draft cards down on Main Street; We like livin’ right and bein’ free. And we don’t make no party out of lovin’; We like holdin’ hands and pitchin’ woo; We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

25. Chorus And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all Okie from Muskogee

26. Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear; Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen. Football’s still the roughest thing on campus, And the kids here still respect the college dean Repeat Chorus And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse, In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA. Okie from Muskogee

27. Big Time in the Jungle by Old Crow Medicine Show Down in Eutaw, Alabama in 1965 A young man ‘bout 21, no different than you or I He’s catchin’ catfish, and getting’ drunk But Uncle Sam called, he called him up Sent him out to Vietnam

28. That young man Got his life turned upside down Turned his smile into a frown Robbed that king of his crown For an ideal he didn’t even know about

29. He was gamblin’ at the wagon when that army man showed up And he flashed that pen and paper And ol’ Flukie he signed up There’s gonna be a big time in the jungle Gonna be a firefight Gonna be a rumble Send me out to Vietnam

30. I’ll fight ten men I got nothin’ left in the States for me I wanna see the world you see I know that Uncle Sam needs me To fight for an ideal I know nothing about

31. Oh the drop point was dusty and the drill sergeant was loud And he could not see the corpses for the ragin’ dust cloud Grab your duffle bags, head to the checkpoint Welcome to Vietnam, boys, you’re in for a hell of a fight Take it from the ones who know

32. The army moves slow Hurry up and wait, don’t sleep late And learn to hate your brother Before you hate your foe

33. On patrol out in the rice fields, them choppers flew low Glancing up for the hand signal to tell you where to go

34. Then the bombs started fallin’ And they pounded his brain And he thought about Eutaw and who was to blame For sendin’ him to Vietnam

35. Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they’re red, white and blue. And when the band plays “Hail to the chief”, Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord, It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son, son. It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no,

36. Yeah! Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don’t they help themselves, oh. But when the taxman comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes, It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no millionaire’s son, no. It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no. Fortunate Son

37. Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord, And when you ask them, “How much should we give?” Ooh, they only answer more! More! More! Yoh, It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no forutne one, no no no Fortunate Son

38. Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming we’re finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming four dead in Ohio Gotta get down to it soldiers are gunning us down Should have been done long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know? La la la la la la la...

39. Gotta get down to it soldiers are gunning us down Should have been done long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know? Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming we’re finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio (repeat and fade) Ohio
