Delta Company 1/20

Christmas time in sunny Vietnam
(to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland)

Rifles pop, are ya' listening?
On the trail, bullets whistling
What a horrible sight,
A small firefight
On Christmas day in sunny Vietnam

Later on we'll perspire
Sweatin' out the cease fire
You pray through the night
You'll make it all right
On Christmas day in sunny Vietnam

In the paddy you may find an ambush
Or a sniper, maybe even two
And no matter where you run for cover
You know the NVA are watching you

Where's the snow, and the tree lights
And the cold, wintry nights,
Santa won't come tonight
They shot down his flight
On Christmas day in sunny Vietnam.
