Beach Party Vietnam Lyrics

It's a beach party Vietnam
Surfin' with the Viet Cong
Cookin' hot dogs with napalm
A beach party Vietnam

Frankie and Annette were layin' on the sand
When Frank got a letter from his Uncle Sam
It said, "Get Moon Dog and all your friends
You're all invited to a"

Beach party Vietnam
Surfin' with the Viet Cong
Cookin' hot dogs with napalm
A beach party Vietnam

Hey Frankie, aren't you gonna give me your class ring?
Oh I'm afraid I can't do that, Annette
Why not?
'Cause I don't have any arms... AAAAAHHH!!!!

Beach party Vietnam
Surfin' with the Viet Cong
Cookin' hot dogs with napalm
A beach party Vietnam

Annette, she wants Frankie's ring
Frankie wants Annette's ...thing...
They're layin' on the West Coast
There's gonna be a wiener roast

A beach party Vietnam
Surfin' with the Viet Cong
Cookin' hot dogs with napalm
A beach party Vietnam

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Hey Frankie, aren't you going to give me your class ring? I'm afraid i can't do that annette...why not? CAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY ARMS AHHHHHHH!"

I can't tell you how many times i've cracked up to this line.

This is another silly Milkmen song taking a rather lighthearted look/poke at the Americans view of war in Vietnam.
