The Drafted Volunteer

歌詞

The war made me a nervous wreck as you can plainly see Fer back in 1941 they almost drafted me I'm just a drafted volunteer They put me in the paratroops I made a jump one day My chute it didn't open but I come down anyway I'm just a drafted volunteer (Take it, lieutenant!) The mess hall serves a balanced meal, at least that's what they claim I found out just what they mean, the beans all weigh the same I'm just a drafted volunteer They said I'd have to learn to swim so they sent me off to school They made me a lifeguard around the motor pool I'm just a drafted volunteer (Hit it, sergeant!... I mean corporal!) I went to see the chaplain as all good soldiers will When I told him my troubles we both went over the hill I'm just a drafted volunteer And then they made a movie for all the world to see All about my army life they named it after me They called it Old Yeller... Old Yeller, the Drafted Volunteer
