|
Well, hi there, buddy |
|
Thought I'd drop you a line |
|
I haven't seen you |
|
For a hundred years |
|
When you get time |
|
Will you let me know |
|
If it's true what a fella hears |
|
Heard you been leading |
|
Those campus demonstrations |
|
You're as busy as you can be |
|
If the sit downs, walk outs |
|
And others aggravate you |
|
Bet you hardly ever think of me |
|
Well, I'm on a little |
|
Vacation in South Vietnam |
|
And expense paid trip for one |
|
I got my own little rifle |
|
And a great uniform |
|
And a job that must be done |
|
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle |
|
And ducking real bullets |
|
And man, it's a lot of fun |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
I heard you let your hair grow |
|
Til it's hanging on your shoulders |
|
And you hardly have time to shave |
|
Bet the girls all flip |
|
Cause you look so fine like |
|
Something crawled out of a cave |
|
Heard Uncle Sam |
|
Nearly scared you to death |
|
But you fooled him just in time |
|
Just stuck a little match |
|
To your old draft card |
|
And you burned up |
|
A future like mine |
|
Well, I'm on a little |
|
Vacation in South Vietnam |
|
And expense paid trip for one |
|
I got my own little rifle |
|
And a great uniform |
|
And a job that must be done |
|
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle |
|
And ducking real bullets |
|
And man, it's a lot of fun |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Oh, I know you're not scared |
|
You're a real brave guy |
|
You're a regular Cassius Clay |
|
And I know you'da fought |
|
When the country was young |
|
But the world's just different today |
|
Well, you just stay home |
|
And leave the fighting to us |
|
And when the whole |
|
Durn mess is through |
|
I'll put away my rifle |
|
And the old uniform |
|
And I'll come looking for you |
|
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle |
|
And ducking real bullets |
|
And man, it's a lot of fun |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here, old pal |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Wish you were here, little buddy |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
I wanna introduce |
|
You to them Comms |
|
(Wish you were here) |
|
Come on over and we'll just |
|
Hold em til you get here, okay |
|
Wish you were here |
