Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Look away across the bay
Yankee gunboat come this way
Uncle Sam gonna save the day
Come tomorrow were all gonna pay
Its burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Its burn baby burn
When am I going to get my turn
Something dead under the bed
Local diplomats hang their head
Never mind what the government said
They're either lying or theyve been mislead
Phillipines was yesterday
Santiago and Greece today
How will they ever make the late news pay
If they didn't have the CIA
Here it comes, the loaded gun
Must keep the commies on the run
Youd probably bury everyone
For liberty, life and just plain fun
Chorus repeat ad infinitum
