Woodstock 1969! Three Day Music Festival Lyrics

Three day music festival will be a part of history and always remembered as the original three day festival of music to depict an era of sex, drugs, peace and rock-n-roll.

News reporters were every where. Police and politicans were nervous about the size of the crowd being around 500,000!

That's a lot of people in one place. No wonder people were nervous about that many people in one crowd, in one town!

500,000 people showed up and listend to Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, the Who and so many more.

How many of you emember this one?

Well come on all of you big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again, way down yonder in Vietnam

And it's 1,2,3 what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam

And it's 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates, well there ain't no time to wonder why? Whoopie, we're all gonna die.

There was more to it than that, I remember other parts of the song too, Be the first boy on your block to have your body brought home in a box (coffin).

Yeah, that was a good one. I FOUND IT!! Lyrics follow below the end of this post and you will also find the video if you want to listen to it!

At the time it made a lot of sense because no body felt that we should have been in the Vietnam war, kinda like today; no one feels we should have invaded Iraq.

Please don't miss understand me I am now and was then, always "THANKFUL" to the men and women whom have served our country and kept us all safe from harm. Americans are in your debt.

My Grandfather served in WW1, my father was a Marine in WW2, along with 2 of my Uncle's, they both died in combat, they were airplane fighters, both planes went down, they both died. My Aunt was in the Navy and my older brother was called to serve in the Vietnam War. He came home alive (thank you God) ;-)

Recently, I read in the paper that a Museum will be opening up, June 2, at the site of the three day music festival that was the Woodstock concert.

How cool is that?!

It's supposed to be part of Bethel Woods center for the Arts, with outdoor performing arts center and complex.

It will also offer exhibits, personal stories, multimedia experiences and programs about the 1960's focusing on everything from music and fashion to the political protest.

This might start a whole new generation of a "woodstock moment", by the time the festival was over every one was extremely impressed with the outcome.

500,000 people in one crowd, no violence!!

Truly amazing to say the least!

More later.

WHAT'S THAT SPELL ?!?!?!?! #@!$
WHAT'S THAT SPELL ??!?!?!? *^%$
WHAT'S THAT SPELL ?!?!!??! ^%#@

Well, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

So come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade,
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Now you can go out and get those reds
'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, and don't hesitate
To send your sons off before it's too late.
And you can be the first ones in your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Hope you enjoyed this!
