Kiss me goodbye
And write me when you can
Goodbye my darlin'
Hello, Vietnam

America has heard the bugle call
And you know it involves us one and all
A ship is waitin' at the dock
America has trouble to be stopped

We must stop Communism in that land
Or freedom will start slippin' through our hand
I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don't put out will bigger burn

We must save freedom now at any cost
Or someday our freedom will be lost
Kiss me goodbye and write me when you can
Goodbye my darlin', hello Vietnam
