Well, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way over yonder in old Iran
So put down your phone, pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lot of fun

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is old Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die


Well, come on admirals let's play loose
Send our boys through the Strait of Hormuz
When they don’t return you can all high five
The only good Persian is the one not alive
And you know that peace could only be won
When we've blown them all to kingdom come

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is old Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die


Well, come on Wall Street don't move slow
This is insider trading a-go-go
There’s money to be made no need to toil
Just act on your tip to short on oil
Just hope and pray they don’t send a drone
And drop it on your luxury home

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is old Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die

Come on mothers who don’t give a heck
To find out what happened to Mosaddegh
Come on fathers your blinders have fused
Watching all the lies on the right wing news
Be the ones who never see the con
Emanating from ole dementia Don

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is old Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
