《Buy a gun for you son(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Buy a gun for you son - Tom Paxton

[00:00:02] Hallelujah Dads and Mommies

[00:00:04] Cowboys Rebels Yanks and Commies

[00:00:06] Buy yourselves some real red blooded fun

[00:00:10] If you want to make the grade

[00:00:11] You've got to have a hand grenade

[00:00:14] And a fully automatic G I Gun

[00:00:17] Buy a gun for your son right away Sir

[00:00:21] Shake his hand like a man and let him play Sir

[00:00:25] Let his little mind expand Place a weapon in his hand

[00:00:29] For the skills he learns today will someday pay Sir

[00:00:33] Pound that kid into submission

[00:00:35] 'Till he's mastered Nuclear Fission

[00:00:37] Buy him plastic warheads by the score

[00:00:41] Once he's got the taste of blood

[00:00:43] He's gonna sneak up on his buddies

[00:00:45] Starting his own thermo-nuclear war

[00:00:49] Buy a gun for your son right away Sir

[00:00:53] Shake his hand like a man and let him play Sir

[00:00:57] Let his little mind expand Place a weapon in his hand

[00:01:01] For the skills he learns today will someday pay Sir

[00:01:05] Buy him khakis and fatigues

[00:01:07] And sign him up in little leagues

[00:01:09] Give him calisthenics as a rule

[00:01:13] Once you've banished fear and dread

[00:01:15] Then pat his seven year-old head

[00:01:17] And send him off to military school

[00:01:21] Buy a gun for your son right away Sir

[00:01:25] Shake his hand like a man and let him play Sir

[00:01:28] Let his little mind expand Place a weapon in his hand

[00:01:32] For the skills he learns today will someday pay Sir

[00:01:37] Once he's grown to be a man

[00:01:39] He might get tired of blasting Granny

[00:01:41] Then you'll see a crisis coming on

[00:01:45] Don't get worried don't get nervous

[00:01:47] Send that kid into the service

[00:01:49] Let him rise into the Pentagon

[00:01:53] At the Pentagon he'll rise

[00:01:55] The President he will advise

[00:01:57] His reputation growing all the while

[00:02:01] With his picture on the wall

[00:02:02] He'll get that long-awaited call

[00:02:05] And press the firing buttons with a smile

[00:02:08] Buy a gun for your son right away Sir

[00:02:12] Shake his hand like a man and let him play Sir

[00:02:16] Let his little mind expand Place a weapon in his hand

[00:02:20] For the skills he learns today will someday pay Sir
