Buy a Gun for You Son

歌詞

Hallelujah, dads and mommies, cowboys, rebels, yanks, and commies Buy yourself some real red-blooded fun If you want to make the grade, you've got to have a hand grenade And a fully automatic G.I. gun So buy a gun for your son right away sir Shake his hand like a man and let him play sir Let his little mind expand, place a weapon in his hand For the skills he learns today will someday pay sir Pound that kid into submission 'till he's master nuclear fission Buy him plastic warheads by the score Once he's got the taste of blood he's gonna sneak up on his buddies Starting his on thermonuclear war So buy a gun for your son right away sir Shake his hand like a man and let him play sir Let his little mind expand, place a weapon in his hand For the skills he learns today will someday pay sir Buy him khakis and patigues and sign him up in little leagues And give him calisthenics as a rule Once you've banished fear and dread that pat his seven-year old head And send him off to military school Oh buy a gun for your son right away sir Shake his hand like a man and let him play sir Let his little mind expand, place a weapon in his hand For the skills he learns today will someday pay sir Once he's grown to be a man he might get tired of blasting gran -y then you'll see a crisis coming on Don't get worried; don't get nervous; send that kid into the service Let him rise into the Pentagon At the Pentagon he'll rise; the President he will advise His reputation growing all the while With your picture on the wall he'll get that long-awaited call And press the firing buttons with a smile So buy a gun for your son right away sir Shake his hand like a man and let him play sir Let his little mind expand, place a weapon in his hand For the skills he learns today will someday pay sir
