BRING THEM HOME (IF YOU LOVE YOUR UNCLE SAM)

If you love your Uncle Sam,
Bring them home, bring them home.
Support our boys in Vietnam,
Bring them home, bring them home.

It'll make our generals sad, I know,
Bring them home, bring them home.
They want to tangle with the foe,
Bring them home, bring them home.

They want to test their weaponry,
Bring them home, bring them home.
But here is their big fallacy,
Bring them home, bring them home.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
Bring them home, bring them home.
But I got a right to sing this song,
Bring them home, bring them home.

There's one thing I must confess,
Bring them home, bring them home.
I'm not really a pacifist,
Bring them home, bring them home.

If an army invaded this land of mine,
Bring them home, bring them home.
You'd find me out on the firing line,
Bring them home, bring them home.

Even if they brought their planes to bomb,
Bring them home, bring them home.
Even if they brought helicopters and napalm,
Bring them home, bring them home.

Show those generals their fallacy:
Bring them home, bring them home.
They don't have the right weaponry,
Bring them home, bring them home.

For defense you need common sense,
Bring them home, bring them home.
They don't have the right armaments,
Bring them home, bring them home.

The world needs teachers, books and schools,
Bring them home, bring them home.
And learning a few universal rules,
Bring them home, bring them home.

So if you love your Uncle Sam,
Bring them home, bring them home.
Support our boys in Vietnam,
Bring them home, bring them home.

TUTTI A CASA :

Se voi amate lo zio Sam, .......... "Riportate tutti a casa"
quei ragazzi dal Vietnam, ........... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
Ciò che piace ai generali, .......... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
è non combattere alla pari, ......... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"

Voglion solo lor testare, ........... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
fin dove un uomo può arrivare, .. "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
Si può aver torto, oppur ragione, "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
ma non zittire una canzone:............ "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"

Io sono il primo della lista,........... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
non son del tutto un pacifista,.... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
Se io fossi qui attaccato,.............. "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
sarei tra i primi ad esser bruciato, "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"

Se venissero a bombardare,.... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
coi "tomawach" ad attaccare,... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
Mostrate voi a quei generali,.... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
quanti sbagli possono fare...... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"

Non ci si salva col il buon senso, "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
non hanno il giusto armamento. "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
Abbiam bisogno di libri e scuole, "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
e di imparare cose nuove.......... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"

Se voi amate la libertà, ................ "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
quei soldati da ogni città, ........... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
ed ogni base militare,.................. "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
un prato in fiore può diventare... "Tutti a casa, tutti a casa"
