FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE RAG (THE FISH CALL) (Joe Fish) (Artist: Country Joe
McDonald and the Fish)

Well, come on all you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your helping hand
Got himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Vietnam
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,
Whoopie we're all gonna die.

Now, come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
Well, man this war is a go-go
There is plenty of money to be made
Supplying the army with the tools of the trade
Just hope and pray they drop the bomb, drop it on Vietnam
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,
Whoopie we're all gonna die.

Well, come on Generals, let's move fast,
Your big chance is here at last
Now you can go out and get those Reds
Because the only good Commie is one that's dead
And you know peace can only be won
When they blow 'em all to Kingdom-Kom
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,
Whoopie we're all gonna die.

Now, come on mothers. through out the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send your sons 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,
Whoopie we're all gonna die.

What Are We Fighting For

Outside a starlit night, inside a raging storm
Works of anger fly like so many times before
We'll fight the battle, baby
Nobody wins the war

I'll say I don't need you, you'll say you
don't want me
We'll sharpen up our lies, really cut each
other deep
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for

There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin'
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for

Why don't you say you're sorry,
why can't I say i'm wrong
How much more damage can we do
until we come undone
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for

There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin'
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for

Girl, aren't we still in love
That's what we're fighting for

Dear CW,
The actual title of this song is "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin"-To-Die-Rag" performed
by San Francisco's leading political rock band of the 60's Country Joe & The
Fish.


The Fish Cheer & -- I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag

Gimme an F!
F!
Gimme an I!
I!
Gimme an S!
S!
Gimme an H!
H!
What's that spell ?
FISH!
What's that spell ?
FISH!
What's that spell ?
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 au-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.

It's called "Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die-Rag"
by Country Joe Macdonald and The Fish.

Sorry but I can't remember all the words. Maybe this bit of info will help.

Way down yonder in Vietnam,
So put down your books 'n' pick up a gun,


We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

CHORUS:

And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why,

Come on Generals, let's move fast;


Your big chance has come at last.

Now you can go out and get those Reds-
Cause the only good Commie is one who's dead.
And you know that peace can only be won,


When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

Come on Wall Street don't be slow.
Our matters wore (?) A-GO-GO


There's plenty good money to be made

By supplyin' the Army with the tools of the trade
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,


They drop it on the Viet Cong.

(CHORUS)

Come on Mothers throughout the land,


Pack your boys off to Vietnam.

Come on Fathers, don't hesitate,
Send your sons off before it's too late.


Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.
