A letter came today from the draft board |
|
With trembling hands I read the questionnaire |
|
It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa |
|
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair |
|
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border |
|
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
|
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order |
|
That tends to keep a good man underground |
|
A sad old soldier once told me a story |
|
About a battlefield that he was on |
|
He said a man should never fight for glory |
|
He must know what is right and what is wrong |
|
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border |
|
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
|
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order |
|
That tends to keep a good man underground, oh yeah |
|
Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle |
|
But I suspect, it's more than I can pay |
|
He's askin' me to sign a three-year contract |
|
I guess, I'll catch the first bus out today |
|
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border |
|
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
|
'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order |
|
That tends to keep a good man underground |
