[G] I'm just a typical American boy [A] from a typical American town.
[D] I believe in God and Senator Dodd and he can keep an old [G] Castro down.
And when it came my time to [A] serve, I knew better dead than red.
[D] But when I got to my old draft board, buddy, this is [G] what I said.
Sergeant, I'm only 18, I got a ruptured [A] spleen and I always carry a purse.
[D] I got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat and my [G] asthma's getting worse.
Oh, think of my career, my sweetheart [A] dear, a poor old invalid aunt.
[D] Besides, I ain't no fool.
I'm a-going to school and I'm a-working in a [G] defense plant.
I got a dislocated disc and a racked up [A] back.
I'm allergic to flowers and bugs.
[D] And when the bombshells hit, I get epileptic fits and I'm addicted to a [G] thousand drugs.
I got the weakest bones, I can't touch [A] my toes, I can hardly reach my knees.
[D] And if the enemy came close to me, I'd probably [G] start to sneeze.

I hate the Chiawea lie and I hope it [A] dies, but I think you gotta see [D] that someone's gotta go over there and that someone [G] is a-me.
So I wish you well, Sarge, give him [A] hell, kill me a thousand or so.
[D] And if you ever get a war without blood and gore, well, I'll be [G] the first to go.
