I've Been Drafted (Now I'm Drafting You)

Performed by Kay Kyser and Sully Mason
Recorded June 29, 1941
Written by Lyle Moraine & Chuck Foster

I want someone to cry when I'm away
I want someone to write me every day
Someone sweet and lovable, somebody true
I've been drafted, now I'm drafting you

I want somebody's picture in my tent
I want someone to cheer my regiment
Someone who'll be thrilled when I march into view
I've been drafted, now I'm drafting you

My country called me to do my part
My country needs me like I need you sweetheart

I want someone whose heart will volunteer
To wait for me at least another year
Someone there with open arms when camp is through
I've been drafted, now I'm drafting you
