What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Did you carry a great big gun?
Did you go to the jungle?
Did you stay in school?
Were you a Fortunate Son?
Did you ever see Jimi or Janis?
Did you go to Woodstock, too?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Were you just like Oliver North?
Did you have a football injury to milk for all it was worth?
Did you see the Beatles on the Sullivan Show?
Did you watch them walk on the moon?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
Well, I know it was so long ago
And your memory fades away
But were you in Ohio on that day in May?
Did you dance to the music like Sly and the Family Stone?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Did you go or stay at home?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Did you join the National Guard?
Did you give 'em hell like Vice President Quayle?
Did you burn your draft card?
Did you write any good protest songs?
Did you smoke marijuana, too?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
Oh, what did you do Daddy?
Did you carry a great big gun?
Did you go to the jungle?
Did you stay in school?
Were you a Fortunate Son?
Did you ever see Jimi or Janis?
Did you go to Woodstock, too?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Were you just like Oliver North?
Did you have a football injury to milk for all it was worth?
Did you see the Beatles on the Sullivan Show?
Did you watch them walk on the moon?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
Well, I know it was so long ago
And your memory fades away
But were you in Ohio on that day in May?
Did you dance to the music like Sly and the Family Stone?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Did you go or stay at home?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Did you join the National Guard?
Did you give 'em hell like Vice President Quayle?
Did you burn your draft card?
Did you write any good protest songs?
Did you smoke marijuana, too?
What did you do in the war now Daddy?
Daddy tell me what did you do
Oh, what did you do Daddy?
