Yankee gunboat come this way
Uncle Sam gonna save the day
Come tomorrow we all gonna pay...
And it's burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Something dead under the bed
Local diplomats hang their heads
Never mind what the government said
They're either lying or they've been misled...
And it's burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Phillipines was yesterday
Santiago and Greece today
How would they ever make the late news pay
If they didn't have the cia?
And it's burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Here it comes, the loaded gun
"Must keep the Commies on the run"
You'd buy or bury everyone
For liberty and life
And just plain fun
And it's burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Look away across the bay Yankee gunboat come this way Uncle Sam gonna save the day Come tomorrow we all gonna pay... And it's burn baby burn When am I going to get my turn Something dead under the bed Local diplomats hang their heads Never mind what the government said They're either lying or they've been misled... And it's burn baby burn When am I going to get my turn Phillipines was yesterday Santiago and Greece today How would they ever make the late news pay If they didn't have the cia? And it's burn baby burn When am I going to get my turn Here it comes, the loaded gun "Must keep the Commies on the run" You'd buy or bury everyone For liberty and life And just plain fun And it's burn baby burn When am I going to get my turn Explain Request ×
