G g#/a

Im just a typical american boy from a typical american town

D7 g

I believe in God and senator dodd and keeping old castro down

G# a

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

D7 g

But when I got to my old draft board, buddy, this is what I said:

G

Sarge, Im only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen

G#/a

And I always carry a purse

D7

I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat, and my asthmas

G

Getting worse

G# a

O think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old

Invalid aunt

D7

Besides, I aint no fool, Im a goin to school, and im

G

Working in a defense plant

Ive got a dislocated disc and a racked up back

Im allergic to flowers and bugs

And when the bombshell hits, I get epileptic fits

And Im addicted to a thousand drugs

I got the weakness woes, and I cant touch my toes

I can hardly reach my knees

And if the enemy came close to me

Id probably start to sneeze

(chorus)

I hate chou en lai, and I hope he dies,

But one thing you gotta see

That someones gotta go over there

And that someone isnt me

So I wish you well, sarge, give em hell

Yeah, kill me a thousand or so

And if you ever get a war without blood and gore

Well Ill be the first to go

(chorus)
