I first head this song on a one hour FM radio station when FM was new in the early 70’s and the Vietnam war was raging.
A review of Fresh Today, the album this song is on:

Here’s another early-1970s UK obscurity where you just have to shake your head and wonder how it...
The jungle is a live place
Hell
Except it’s got a yellow face
Well
Well
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are dying easy
A mother loving son
A Stoned success of all events
I pass the test but do not rest
I’m feeling kind of queasy
The Sargent uses cocaine
Nice
He’s out-of-sight and out-of-mind
Twice
Twice
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are damn amazing
Lying in a song
While we can laugh about the past
While rednecks bring (?) our photographs
Without grass I think we’d all go crazy
The company is good here
Kind
And mescaline is good out here
Fine
Fine
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are dying easy
A mother loving son
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are getting lazy
Lying in a song
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are dying easy
A mother loving son
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are getting lazy
Lying in a song
Stoned in Saigon
The gooks are dying easy
