Verse
G C G
Oh, I'm weary and I'm harried and I don't know what to do,
D7
There's no end to all the trouble that I'm in.
G C
In the lands that I'm patrollin' revolutions are unrollin',
G D7 G
My antennae can't see any way to win.
C G
I'm the people's best policeman, here to guard them while I fleece them,
C D7
But their sleeping habits aren't really fair.
G G7 C D7 G
And I recently have found that the world is really round and the little men are movin' everywhere.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Oh, once there was a savior and he lived in old Saigon,
D7
And the people really loved our man Diem.
G C
Cardinal Spellman gave him power, helped along by Eisenhower
G D7 G
And professors from the state of Michigan.
C G
He got some ammunition and he crushed his opposition,
C D7
He was bloody, but he wasn't very sharp,
G G7 C D7
'Cause our puppet broke his string, and he thought he'd like to sing,
G
So we issued him a halo and a harp.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 3]
G C G
Then the generals took over and took over and took over,
D7
There were coups and counter-coups most every week.
G C
But we honored our commitment, why we never missed a shipment,
G D7 G
If we had, they would have sold us up a creek.
C G
But the "Viet Cong" surprised us, they almost terrorized us,
C D7
Did you know their average age is seventeen?
G G7 C
We get poison arrow treatments from those juvenile delinquents,
D7 G
They're the only thing more deadly than Marines.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 4]
G C G
We're losin' badly on the ground, so we go to the air,
D7
And we drop a couple thousand bombs a day.
G C
But the peasants slowly funnel into the Commie tunnels,
G D7 G
Oh, how I wish the Reds would go away!
C G
We want negotiations to secure this little nation
C D7
And keep the Commie menace out of here.
G G7 C
In Saigon we want a friend; let me see, who shall we send?
D7 G
Hubert Humphrey isn't doing much this year.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 5]
G C G
Now I see them in the cities and the mountains and the plains,
D7
By coincidence, they're everywhere I roam.
G C
In the hotel elevators I'm beset by demonstrators
G D7 G
And I hear the people shoutin' "Bring Em Home!"
C G
They're invading Air Force bases and stirring up the races,
C D7
And yelling nasty things at L.B.J.
G G7 C
Yes, the enemy is near; what's that splashing sound I hear?
D7 G
I see sampans out in San Francisco Bay.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 6]
G C G
My antennae started twitchin', there's a signal comin' in,
D7
And I guess I'll send a million men to war.
G C
We will teach the reds a lesson, stop the peasants from their messin',
G D7 G
They won't call for no elections any more.
C G
Stop harassing our dictators, you're a bunch of dirty traitors,
C D7
And this is not the first time you've been warned.
G G7 C
Stop attacking our Marines, eat our poisoned jelly beans,
D7 G
And don't invade the little land where you were born.
[Chorus]
C
Leave us alone,
G
Leave us alone,
C D7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
G G7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
C
And I might not bomb your land,
D7 G
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
