My Uncle |
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 heading for the nearest foreign border |
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
Because 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 heading for the nearest foreign border |
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
Because they don’t need the kind of law and order |
That tends to keep a good man underground, yeah now, |
I don’t know how much I owe my uncle |
But I suspect it’s more than I can pay |
He’s asking me to sign a three-year contract |
I guess I’ll catch the first bus out today |
So I’m heading for the nearest foreign border |
Vancouver may be just my kind of town |
Because they don’t need the kind of law and order |
That tends to keep a good man underground |
That tends to keep a good man underground |
