Downtown A Viet Nam Parady
11 January, 2010
Author: George Mudge
Don't hang around and let the VC surround you,
There are plastic bombs,
Downtown.
Maybe you know a little place you can go,
Where they never throw,
Napalm.
Just listen to the rhythm of the mortars In the valley,
Maybe they will shoot you as you step out in the alley.
How will you know--the VC are everywhere,
And if they splatter your brains out what will you care,
If you're Downtown, Drinking some Ba Mui Baa Downtown.
Blowing a Jay or two Downtown,
You know they're waiting for you
