I don't wanna get drafted. I don't want to go
I don't wanna get drafted.

I don't wanna get drafted. I don't want to go
I don't wanna get drafted
No-no-no.

Roller skates and disco is a lot of fun
I'm too young and stupid to operate a gun.

I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted.

My-ay-ay sister don't wanna get drafted
She don't wanna go
My sister don't wanna get drafted.

My-ay-ay sister don't wanna get drafted
She don't wanna go
My sister don't wanna get drafted
Woh-oh-woh-oh-woh.

Wars are really ugly, they're dirty and they're cold.
I don't want nobody to shoot her in the foxhole . . . foxhole.

I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted
I don't wanna get drafted.

Wars are really ugly, they're dirty and they're cold
I don't want nobody to shoot me in the foxhole . . . foxhole.

Aiieeeeeeeee . . . Shot in the foxhole.
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .

Aiieeeeeeeee . . . Shot in the foxhole.
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .

Aiieeeeeeeee . . . Shot in the foxhole.
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .

Aiieeeeeeeee . . . Shot in the foxhole.
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .
Shot in the foxhole . . . shot in the foxhole . . .

Aiieeeeeeeee . . . Shot in the foxhole . . .

Zappa, Frank I Don't Wanna Get Drafted Comments
  1. C.... E....

    Until recently, I never realized the lost episodes versions is like 10 seconds longer then the original 1980 "I don't wanna Get Drafted" Maxi-single?. Upon closer listening it also sounds like an ever so-slightly different mix/EQ? one major difference is zappa either says "oy" or "boy?" 25 seconds in on the vinyl single instead of the sulking "uh heh!...".

  2. T.... ....

    God I miss FZ.

  3. T.... A....

    I've Been Singing the Wrong Lyrics This Whole Time Until Now .

  4. B.... F....

    My God, I haven't heard this in 40 years. It's actually quite good.

  5. H.... P....

    “When Zappa Records’ distributor Phonogram refused to release the Carter administration-protesting single “I Don’t Wanna Get Drafted,” the musician reclaimed control by establishing Barking Pumpkin Records and withdrawing into his Laurel Canyon cabin’s built-in studio, the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.”

  6. P.... M....

  10. M.... H....

    I was the recording engineer on this song, at Ocean Way Studios in LA.

    M.... H....

    This song was eventually outlawed to be played on the radio. I remember when this happened. Reagan was in office. It was a big deal when it happened. There was NO draft, but my brother and I were FORCED to register. My WWII vet Dad made us do it.

    M.... H....

    @Carmina Burana You mean the same President who ended the Cold War and brought down the Soviet Union without firing a single shot? Nice try

    M.... H....
