Look away across the bay
   yankee gunboat come this way
   Uncle Sam gonna save the day
   come tomorrow we all gonna pay
   (Chorus:) and it's burn baby burn
   when am I going to get my turn
  
   something dead under the bed
   local diplomats hang their heads
   never mind what the government said
   they're either lying or they've been misled
  
   (chorus)
  
   Phillipines was yesterday
   Santiago and Greece today
   how would they ever make
   the late news pay
   if they didn't have the CIA?
  
   (chorus)
  
   here it comes, the loaded gun
   "must keep the commies on the run"
   you'd buy or bury everyone
   for liberty and life
   and just plain fun
  
   (chorus)
