The Big Draft Medley |
Why don’t you draft all the other groups? |
Give them a chance to go see the world |
Ship them to the open spaces |
We can think of a hundred places |
Let’s send the Platters away today |
I’ll never smile again (Dow dow dow dow) |
Our new record’s a bomb (Doot doot doo doo) |
They never heard of us (Dow dow dow dow) |
In South VietNam |
Why don’t you draft all the other groups? |
They’re getting older every year they’re here |
Put 'em on some naval carrier |
'Fore they pass that legal barrier |
May we suggest one or two? |
The Four Aces have been in before |
But experience is what you’re looking for |
The draft is a many-splendored thing |
Over land sea or sky we’ll be down to say goodbye |
As the Aces go rolling along |
Well it’s hut three four |
And it’s time to grab some more |
Dick and Deedee will serve us all with pride |
And where 'ere they go, they will always know |
That in spirit we’re there at their side |
Up early morn it’s so? |
lied |
Can’t get across to the other si-i-i-i-i-de |
Uh-oh uh-oh, uh-oh uh-oh |
After you take Dick and Deedee |
The Marcels certainly look top-shape |
It would be a mighty thrill to see |
Those boys shooting field artillery |
Singing as they went along |
Dip dip dip dip werp a-werp werp |
Bom ba bom bom, boom ba boom boom |
Boob ba ba boom ba ba boom, heartaches |
Heartaches, heartaches |
Since I’ve been drafted, I’ve got heartaches |
Not only that, I’m eating army stew |
While I’ve got heartburn too |
Dip dip dip dip werp a-werp werp |
Bom ba bom bom, boom ba boom boom |
Boob ba ba boom ba ba boom, heartaches |
Say man, why do you sing that way? |
You’re standin' on my foot! |
Anchors aweigh my boys |
There goes that noise |
Meanwhile we were thinkin' maybe |
The Highwaymen would be perfect for the Navy |
The ocean is deep and the ocean is wide |
Gotta get goin' |
Got no draft on the other side |
Keep on rowin' |
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah |
Gotta stay outa this mixed-up war, hallelujah |
After you take all the other groups |
Let’s let Dion feel he served us well |
Hey hey wo-o-o-o-oah |
Hey hey wo-o-o-o-oah |
Hey hey wo-o-o-o-oah |
Hey… ahhh |
Kentucky and Waterloo |
Uncle Sam is a-comin' he’s a-watchin' you |
So stay away keep outa view |
Stay away from your draft board too |
I’ll be? |
all around |
Down that noise |
And stay away from Uncle Sam |
'Cuz he goes after little boys |
We close with just one last request of you |
Forget that we are 1-A too |
