Gone, gone, gone with the draft! |
|
Gone, gone, gone with the draft! |
|
Gone, gone, gone with the draft! |
|
When skinny me went out with my honey, |
|
The boys all started to laugh, |
|
But now it's not so funny, |
|
They're all gone with the draft! |
|
As a sheik I can't be beat, |
|
The boys all hand me a laugh, |
|
But since I have got flat feet, |
|
I'm not gone with the draft! |
|
I used to envy the fellows |
|
Who had such a fine physique, |
|
But all they can say is "Hello" |
|
On seven fifty a week! |
|
When the boys get back and see how I'm doin', |
|
They'll be sorry they left, |
|
'Cause one can't keep on wooin' |
|
And still be gone with the draft! |
|
When Franklin B did sign the draft, |
|
The cats all had a chill; |
|
The boys turned pale and ceased to laugh, |
|
'Cause this is as serious bill! |
|
They now realize that skinny me |
|
Was the luckiest one of all, |
|
Who can stay at home with Minnie |
|
While they face the cannon ball! |
|
So boys, take it on the chin |
|
And always wear a smile, |
|
You'll find it hard to grin |
|
Carrying fifty pounds for miles! |
|
When your year of drillin's up, |
|
You get to camp discharge, |
|
You can come back home and freshen up, |
|
And run around at large! |
|
Gone gone gone gone, |
|
With the draft draft draft draft! |
