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
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
