[Verse 1]
I'm just a typical American boy
From a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd
And in keepin' 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
Honey, this is what I said
[Chorus]
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 a-gettin' worse
Oh, think of my career, my sweetheart dear
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
[Verse 2]
I got a dislocated disc and a wracked up back
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs
And when the bombshell hits, I gеt epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs
I got thе weakness woes, I can't touch my toes
I can hardly reach my knees
And if the enemy come close to me
I'd probably start to sneeze
I'm just a typical American boy
From a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd
And in keepin' 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
Honey, this is what I said
[Chorus]
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 a-gettin' worse
Oh, think of my career, my sweetheart dear
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
[Verse 2]
I got a dislocated disc and a wracked up back
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs
And when the bombshell hits, I gеt epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs
I got thе weakness woes, I can't touch my toes
I can hardly reach my knees
And if the enemy come close to me
I'd probably start to sneeze
