The phone rings- a husky voice greets you
He goes on to say- Uncle Sam needs you
He talks further and you are surprised
You've been drafted before you've realized
He concludes, "Don't make it such a big deal
After all, you're only going to Bosnia"
Eye-ee-eye eye-ee-eye
You have answered the telephone
Don't hang up you'll get a dial tone
Listen on so you can hear some more
This is a conversation you cannot ignore
Listen to words of despair and elation
Get calls from all across the nation
You wake up, the phone rings at your bedside
Some guy wants you to talk him out of suicide
Your deepening desire to go back to bed
You almost wish this fellow would just drop dead
You set him straight and its time for work
Why did you save the life of that jerk?
Eye-ee-eye Eye-ee-eye
You have answered the telephone
Don't hang up you'll get a dial tone
Listen on so you can hear some more
This is a conversation you cannot ignore
Listen to words of despair and elation
Get calls from all across the nation
