Verse
D# G# D#
Oh, I'm weary and I'm harried and I don't know what to do,
A#7
There's no end to all the trouble that I'm in.
D# G#
In the lands that I'm patrollin' revolutions are unrollin',
D# A#7 D#
My antennae can't see any way to win.
G# D#
I'm the people's best policeman, here to guard them while I fleece them,
G# A#7
But their sleeping habits aren't really fair.
D# D#7 G# A#7 D#
And I recently have found that the world is really round and the little men are movin' everywhere.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 2]
D# G# D#
Oh, once there was a savior and he lived in old Saigon,
A#7
And the people really loved our man Diem.
D# G#
Cardinal Spellman gave him power, helped along by Eisenhower
D# A#7 D#
And professors from the state of Michigan.
G# D#
He got some ammunition and he crushed his opposition,
G# A#7
He was bloody, but he wasn't very sharp,
D# D#7 G# A#7
'Cause our puppet broke his string, and he thought he'd like to sing,
D#
So we issued him a halo and a harp.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 3]
D# G# D#
Then the generals took over and took over and took over,
A#7
There were coups and counter-coups most every week.
D# G#
But we honored our commitment, why we never missed a shipment,
D# A#7 D#
If we had, they would have sold us up a creek.
G# D#
But the "Viet Cong" surprised us, they almost terrorized us,
G# A#7
Did you know their average age is seventeen?
D# D#7 G#
We get poison arrow treatments from those juvenile delinquents,
A#7 D#
They're the only thing more deadly than Marines.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 4]
D# G# D#
We're losin' badly on the ground, so we go to the air,
A#7
And we drop a couple thousand bombs a day.
D# G#
But the peasants slowly funnel into the Commie tunnels,
D# A#7 D#
Oh, how I wish the Reds would go away!
G# D#
We want negotiations to secure this little nation
G# A#7
And keep the Commie menace out of here.
D# D#7 G#
In Saigon we want a friend; let me see, who shall we send?
A#7 D#
Hubert Humphrey isn't doing much this year.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 5]
D# G# D#
Now I see them in the cities and the mountains and the plains,
A#7
By coincidence, they're everywhere I roam.
D# G#
In the hotel elevators I'm beset by demonstrators
D# A#7 D#
And I hear the people shoutin' "Bring Cm Home!"
G# D#
They're invading Air Force bases and stirring up the races,
G# A#7
And yelling nasty things at L.B.J.
D# D#7 G#
Yes, the enemy is near; what's that splashing sound I hear?
A#7 D#
I see sampans out in San Francisco Bay.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 6]
D# G# D#
My antennae started twitchin', there's a signal comin' in,
A#7
And I guess I'll send a million men to war.
D# G#
We will teach the reds a lesson, stop the peasants from their messin',
D# A#7 D#
They won't call for no elections any more.
G# D#
Stop harassing our dictators, you're a bunch of dirty traitors,
G# A#7
And this is not the first time you've been warned.
D# D#7 G#
Stop attacking our Marines, eat our poisoned jelly beans,
A#7 D#
And don't invade the little land where you were born.
[Chorus]
G#
Leave us alone,
D#
Leave us alone,
G# A#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
D# D#7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
G#
And I might not bomb your land,
A#7 D#
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
