A letter came today from my draft board
                                     
With trembling hands I read the questionare
                                           
It asked me lots of things about my mamma and poppa
                                   
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
                                    
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
                           
Vancouver may be my kind of town
                                        
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
                                    
That tends to keep a good man underground
                                 
A  sad old soldier  once told me a story
                              
About a battlefield that he was on
                                    
He said a man should never fight for glory
                                      
He must know what is right and what is wrong
                                       
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
                          
Vancouver may be my kind of town
                                        
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
                                     
That tends to keep a good man underground
                                 
Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle
                                 
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
                                  
He's asking me to sign a three year contract
                                       
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
                                    
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
                           
Vancouver may be my kind of town
                                        
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
                                    
That tends to keep a good man underground
