Merry Christmas, 1968
At home presents are wrapped
Drinking eggnog and spreading cheer.
Got the tree all lit up
It is that time of year.
Toys for Jim and Mary
Robes for mom and dad,
Don't forget Aunt Betty,
It is that time of year.
The house is full of joy,
The're parties everywhere.
The kids are so excited,
It is that time of year.
Say a prayer for Tommy,
He's in Viet Nam this year.
Come on in neighbors,
Let's have a drink of cheer.
There's one more present coming
I helped to fill the body bag.
We shipped it from Saigon,
It is that time of year.
Merry Christmas
did this after an attack on our compound
