I don't really know why I signed up again two tours a duty in Vietnam, my partner and I made a bet against fear Who could collect most gook’s ears Our duty ended and we went back, took all our ears filled our sack We counted them out and and I shed tears You know I'd rather have more gook’s ears
Well had to go back and win that bet And see those ear holes, that I wont get I walk away and make the reds pay dear Napalm coming, frittered red gook’s ears, alright
And now I'm back in the U.S.A. and I'm happy everyday And now I've got a curio shop here You know what I sell, yeah what the hell, gook’s ears You know what I sell, yeah what the hell, gook’s ears
