I think we need examples to be posted to fully appreciate the tuneful ditty in question, is this the one you refer to Andy?
I especially like the "Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" bit. I have a feeling I may start humming it next time I pick up a pound of Kielbasa and some Wiejska from Mr.Gudz's Deli in town.

What was once the anthem of the Vietnam war----
"We've got to get out of this place" by the Animals
Vietnam War, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - YouTube
and a song very much on the order of "I was only 19"
---"He said he had a friend" by Doc Williams.
Maybe because my uncle who was only 8 years older than me
was serving with the US 5th SF in Vietnam but this one always gets me.
