( Funny draft song lyrics )
I'M LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

1: For years I've been finding my "partners"
in ev'ry place that I can look.
Don't care if they're dumb or they're smarter.
I don't care if they're honest or crooks.
They travel with me to far places,
wherever my whimsy may roam.
I don't recall all of their faces.
Lots of times they will never go home.

CHORUS:
I'm looking for young men. I'm out on the prowl.
I'm looking for young men. I want them all now.

2: You've probably noticed my picture
on some dirty Post Office wall
that makes me look like I'm a trickster.
I'm not that kind of guy after all.
It's said that I use them and lose them,
but that's not exactly the truth.
I pay them for services rendered,
'though I've damaged and ended their youth.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Wrong? Is it wrong
to be promising all that I do?
Wrong? What's so wrong?
Who knows? Maybe next I'll want you.

3: Don't think of me like I'm some geezer,
perverted and kinky and weird
or some old conniving deceiver
with these funky, wild clothes and a beard.
I do really care for these people
'though I don't give them all that I can.
I'm there when the bells toll in steeples.
After all, I am their Uncle Sam.
CHORUS:

CODA:
Okay, okay, to be politically correct,
I've taken a few women, too.
