Buy a Gun for Your Son
D
Hallelujah, Dads and Mommies,
Cowboys, Rebels, Yanks and Commies
A7
Buy yourselves some real red blooded fun.
D
If you want to make the grade,
You've got to have a hand grenade,
A7 D
And a fully automatic G.I. Gun.
Chorus
D G D
Buy a gun for your son right away, Sir
G D
Shake his hand like a man and let him play, Sir.
G
Let his little mind expand, Place a weapon in his hand,
A7 D
For the skills he learns today will someday pay, Sir.
D
Pound that kid into submission
'Till he's mastered Nuclear Fission
A7
Buy him plastic warheads by the score,
D
Once he's got the taste of blood,
He's gonna sneak up on his buddies
A7 D
Starting his own thermo-nuclear war.
(Repeat Chorus)
D
Buy him khakis and fatigues,
And sign him up in little leagues,
A7
Give him callisthenics as a rule.
D
Once you've banished fear and dread,
Then pat his seven year-old head,
A7 D
And send him off to military school.
(Repeat Chorus)
D
Once he's grown to be a man,
He might get tired of blasting Granny,
A7
Then you'll see a crisis coming on.
D
Don't get worried, don't get nervous.
Send that kid into the service,
A7 D
Let him rise into the Pentagon.
D
At the Pentagon he'll rise.
The President he will advise,
A7
His reputation growing all the while.
D
With his picture on the wall,
He'll get that long-awaited call,
A7 D
And press the firing buttons with a smile.
Final Chorus
