Ya gota do one to G&S's "I Am a Pirate King!"

I AM A VIET VET ("I Am a Pirate King")
======================================

Oh, better far to live than die 
As about my wounds I lie, 
And play my sanctimonious parts 
With a silver star and three purple hearts. 
Away to the stateside world I flew, 
Where gigolos are well-to-do; 
Then I did exploit the life I've set, 
And live and die a Viet Vet. 
For I am a Viet Vet! 
And it is, it is how I hedge my bet
I am a Viet Vet! 
For I am a Viet Vet! 

(You are! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet!)

And it is, it is how I hedge my bet 
I am a Viet Vet. 

(It is! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet!)

When I sally to be President
I treat myself with a royal bent. 
I never fall, it's true, you see
Unless I'm tripped by an S.O.B;
For thrity years in D.C. I've got
A record of doing diddley-squat;
Just watch me keep the focus on
My four-month tour in Vietnam!
For I am a Viet Vet! 
And it is, it is how I hedge my bet 
I am a Viet Vet! 
For I am a Viet Vet! 

(You are! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet!)

And it is, it is how I hedge my bet 
I am a Viet Vet. 

(It is! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet! 
Hurrah for the Viet Vet!)
