'Tis the season...

I found this in my oldest brother's handwriting in the front of a book on mechanical drawing he'd left behind at our childhood home. Given the topic it probably dates from around 1970 or so. I don't recall there being any attribution as to who wrote it, so it may have been an original or overheard, who knows. Anyway, to be sung to the obvious tune, here it is:

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why:
Ho Chi Minh is comin' to town.

He's buildin' a tank
Checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's bombin' his rice
Ho Chi Minh is comin' to town.

He bombs you when you're sleeping
He shells you when awake
He knows if you're a Communist
So be one for goodness' sake

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why:
Ho Chi Minh is comin' to town.
