Lyrics

Sergeant said I?ma waitin? for you
Get on that truck and don?t dallyhoo
Here?s your frags and an M16

I?m sendin? you troop, down the Mekong
Where the bullets well they?re commin? fast
Yea I?m sendin? you way down the Mekong
Where the mud is up to your waist

Got off the truck heard Sarge explain
Man troop you?re deaf dumb and lame
You?re an F.N.G. with just a half a brain

I?m sendin? you troop, way down the Mekong
Where the life span ain?t all that great
Well I?m sendin? you way down the Mekong
Where the snakes are bigger than apes

Well a month goes by and Sarge he got busted
Captain told me with him he?s disgusted
You?re the Sarge now so show him who?s boss

I?m sendin? you Sarge, down the Mekong
Where there?s shadows on every trail
If you make it out of the Mekong
I?ll make sure it?s you I nail

So you better stay in the Mekong
In just a short while you?ll fade away
Cause when you sent me Sarge
When you sent me down the Mekong
Hell was just a step away

You?re goin? down the Mekong where the bullets are commin? fast
I?m sending you Sarge down the Mekong
Where there?s mud up to your waist
