Well, hi there, buddy Thought I'd drop you a line I haven't seen you For a hundred years
When you get time Will you let me know If it's true what a fella hears
Heard you been leading Those campus demonstrations You're as busy as you can be If the sit downs, walk outs And others aggravate you Bet you hardly ever think of me
Well, I'm on a little Vacation in South Vietnam And expense paid trip for one I got my own little rifle And a great uniform And a job that must be done
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle And ducking real bullets And man, it's a lot of fun Wish you were here (Wish you were here) Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
I heard you let your hair grow Til it's hanging on your shoulders And you hardly have time to shave Bet the girls all flip Cause you look so fine like Something crawled out of a cave
Heard Uncle Sam Nearly scared you to death But you fooled him just in time Just stuck a little match To your old draft card And you burned up A future like mine
Well, I'm on a little Vacation in South Vietnam And expense paid trip for one I got my own little rifle And a great uniform And a job that must be done
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle And ducking real bullets And man, it's a lot of fun Wish you were here (Wish you were here) Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Oh, I know you're not scared You're a real brave guy You're a regular Cassius Clay And I know you'da fought When the country was young But the world's just different today
Well, you just stay home And leave the fighting to us And when the whole Durn mess is through I'll put away my rifle And the old uniform And I'll come looking for you
Well, we're sleeping in the jungle And ducking real bullets And man, it's a lot of fun Wish you were here (Wish you were here) Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Wish you were here, old pal (Wish you were here) Wish you were here (Wish you were here) Wish you were here, little buddy (Wish you were here)
I wanna introduce You to them Comms (Wish you were here) Come on over and we'll just Hold em til you get here, okay Wish you were here
