Gone, gone, gone with the draft, gone, gone, gone with the draft 
G7    C     C/B     Am7          G         C        Em7          A7 
When skinny me went out with my honey, the boys all started to laugh; 
    C        C7      F   Bb9  C           Dm7           C   G 
But now it's not so funny  they're all gone with the draft. 
C     C/B     Am7        G         C        Em7        A7 
As a shiek, I can't be beat  the boys all hand me a laugh. 
     C       C7       F        Bb9 C        Dm7          C   G 
But since I have got flat feet,    I'm not gone in the draft. 
Bridge one: 
   C7     Gdim      F     Dm    C7       Gdim     F 
I used to envy the fellows  who had such fine physiques; 
     D           Gdim     G    Em7     Am7   D       G 
But all they can say is "Hello"    on seven-fifty a week. 
G7        C        C/B     Am7          G                    C           Em7         A7 
When the boys get back and see how I'm doin', they'll be sorry they laughed; 
  C         C7            F      Bb9      C        Dm7            C   G 
'Cause one can't keep on wooing      and still be gone with the draft.

When Franklyn D did sign the draft, the cats all had a chill; 
     C           C7         F      Bb9            C        Dm7      C   G 
The boys turned pale and ceased to laugh, 'cause this is a serious bill. 
G7    C     C/B        Am7   G           C       Em7     A7 
They now realize that skinny me was the luckiest one of all, 
         C       C7        F    Bb9         C            Dm7      C   G 
Who can stay at home with Minnie,    while they face the canon balls. 
Bridge two: 
    C7          Gdim     F    Dm     C7     Gdim     F 
So boys, take it on the chin,    and always wear a smile; 
        D       Gdim         G      Em7  Am7   D          G 
You'll find it hard to win carryin'     fifty pounds for miles. 
G7          C     C/B      Am7   G      C         Em7      A7 
When your year of drill is up,     you get your calves discharged, 
         C         C7        F    Bb9      C     Dm7      C   G 
You can come back home and freshen up, and run around at large.
