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.
ACCASA LI DEVI FA’ TORNA’ (SE T’AGGEGNA LO ZIO SA’)

Se t’aggegna la libbertà
accasa li devi fa’ torna’
‘sti bàmboli dall’ortrema’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Ar pulìtico ‘un n’aggraderà,
accasa li devi fa’ torna’,
cor nemico vole battaglià,
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Le su’ idee voglian prova’,
accasa li devi fa’ torna’
quanto sangue si deve spila’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Quante vite dèvano tronca’,
accasa li devi fa’ torna’,
ché l’occhi ‘ni vòleno brilla’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

(Hoooo-hoooo Hoooo-hoooo
Hoooo-hoooo Hoooo-hoooo)

L’òmi ‘n festa e i bàmboli a urla’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’
tutt’in giro di vì e di là,
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Poi ‘mpiazzichiésa tutt’a sona’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Se Mamiliano torna ‘ndà
accasa lo devi fa’ torna’

Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
‘sti bàmboli dall’ortrema’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Se t’aggegna la libbertà
accasa li devi fa’ torna’
‘sti bàmboli dall’ortrema’
accasa li devi fa’ torna’

Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’
Accasa li devi fa’ torna’.
