Oh, how I'd hate to go into the army
Oh, how I'd rather remain at home
That's why I am here today
Working hard to get an A
We're dodging the draft
We're dodging the draft
We're dodging the draft at Harvard
Some day you may have to go to Korea
Send us a souvenir if you can
While you are out destroying life
We'll be back home enjoying life
It's great to be an essential man
Some are too old to get into the army
Some guys the army won't even take
But we happily confess
That the draft board says 28
We're dodging the draft
We're dodging the draft
We're dodging the draft at Harvard
Some day you may have to go to Korea
You may be leaving before too long
But our draft board, influential men
Insists we're all essential men
And who are we to say they're wrong?
Entangling alliances
With all the arts and sciences
Will keep us home where we belong
