The following brilliant song is sometimes credited to Arlo Guthrie, but NOT. Phil died, very sadly, too young.
oh yeah, draft dodger rag, an instant classic. we dug it in the enlisted club in-country, over there early 68 thru 1970. when / where a
coool can of beer cost 10 cents (script if iirc).
btw, old farts could do worse than check out the PO-d biography, available at better library's everywhere or bookstore-slayer amazon, for ~10 bucks and change:

Oh, I'm just a typical American boy from a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd and a-keepin' old Castro down
And when it came my time to serve I knew "better dead than red"
But when I got to my old draft board, buddy, this is what I said:
Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a-goin' to school
And I'm working in a DEE-fense plant.. .. ..
