Yankee, Go Home

[Verse 1]
Oh, G.I. Joe, put your gun away
The sun is setting on another day
Why don't you leave us alone?
Yankee, go home

[Verse 2]
They're burning effigies out in the street
Man the lifeboats, sound the retreat
Pentagon's on the phone
Yankee, go home

[Bridge]
You can't just kiss and run away
There ain't enough money on a sergeant's pay
When the dance hall girl you banged's in the family way

[Verse 3]
Well, you turned my sister into a whore
With a pair of silk stockings from the P.X. store
Why don't you leave us alone?
Yankee, go home
Yankee, go home
Just go home

[Verse 4]
My girlfriend still won't talk to me
Since she met with a sailor from the land of the free
I'm tired of being alone
Yankee, go home

[Verse 5]
I lost count of the chewing gum that I've had
And Coca-Cola make my teeth go bad
We'll handle this on our own
Yankee, go home

[Bridge]
Dow Jones going into a stall
Spray paint saying it on every wall
The climb was fine, now it's time to decline and fall

[Verse 6]
Overpaid, oversexed and over here
Get smart, gringo, disappear
The Hun's at the gates of Rome
Yankee, go home
Yankee, go home

[Outro]
Go home
Go home
Go home
