Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
You finished what you begin
Congratulations you're my kind of guy
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
What a great big war you got us in
LBJ said hell we'll give it a try
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
I can understand what you did
Westmoreland said he'd make you fry
It seemed to them the die was cut
When General Giap said he had enough
In the Ia Drang Valley battle of '65
Giap's men knew the Valley well
But the 7th Cav gave them hell
And Hal Moore got his boys out alive
While the Beatles played A Hard Day's Night
The President said we'd stay and fight
Those taxi drivers were deliverin' sad news
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
What a hell of a mess we got in
McNamara said we couldn't lose
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Now the Iraq war is at the end
No fatal victory like once before
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
We showed the world how we could win
A war that would open freedom's door
President Bush told Saddam Hussein
We won't play the body count game
This won't be another Vietnam War
With Tommy Franks in command
We took the sea, air, and land
Before America said war no more
President Bush said wait and see
Stick with me 'till Iraq is free
We stand together for peace and liberty
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
We'll all be buddies in the end
Let's raise the flag and have some apple pie
