When Uncle Sam joined in the war He made a mighty draft; The selective, as they called it; Twas made in my behalf. I was a lucky bird, you know, Drew a lucky number; Twas like Yankee Doodle Doo Went to town on lumber. And by and by, when the time came, We called at the courthouse; Well, there was no trial on at all Remove your shirt and blouse. They examined our ears and eyes. Then examined our feet. They weighed us and calculated Just how much we could eat. They ran us through mighty lively, All the good feeding class; They knew we could eat anything From Huns to bits of glass.
