Draft Dodger Rag - Pete Seeger
I'm just a typical American boy
From a typical American town

I believe in God and Senator Todd
And keeping old Castro down

And when it came my time to serve
I knew better dead than red

But when I got to my old draft board, buddy,
This is what I said:
Sarge, I'm only eighteen,
I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat,
And my asthma's getting worse

O think of my career, my sweetheart dear,

And my poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school,
And I'm working in a defense plant

I've got a dislocated disc and a racked up back
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs

And when bombshells hit, I get epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs

I got the weakness woes, I can't touch my toes
I can hardly touch my knees

And if the enemy came close to me
I'd probably start to sneeze

Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat,
And my asthma's getting worse

O think of my career, my sweetheart dear,
And my poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school,
And I'm working in a defense plant

I hate Chou En Lai, and I hope he dies,
But one thing you gotta see

That someone's gotta go over there
But that someone isn't me

So I wish you well, Sarge, give 'em Hell
Kill me a thousand or so

And if you ever get a war without blood and gore
Well I'll be the first to go

Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse

I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat,
And my asthma's getting worse
O think of my career, my sweetheart dear,
And my poor old invalid aunt

Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school,
And I'm working in a defense plant
