I believe "Napalm Sticks to Kids" was one of those "living" songs, that is to say, it changed verses here and there depending on what unit you were with and where you were located.
For example, I recall one verse from a book I read many, many years ago that was not in the song linked to by swaghauler. I still remember the verse even though it was thirty years or more ago now.
Blues out on a road recon
See some kids with their mom
What the Hell let's drop the bomb
Napalm sticks to kids
For those who don't know much of the slang of the Vietnam War, "Blues" were Huey helicopters armed with rocket pods and machine guns. They were used for fire support and other offensive actions rather than troop transport (troops transport Hueys were called "Slicks" if I remember correctly)
