Gone With The Draft

Nat King Cole

Transposer:

Gone gone gone with the draft gone gone gone with the draft                            When skinny me went out with my honey the boys all started to laugh; But now it’s not so funny  they’re all gone with the draft. As a shiek I can’t be beat  the boys all hand me a laugh. But since I have got flat feet    I’m not gone in the draft. Bridge one: I used to envy the fellows  who had such fine physiques; But all they can say is "Hello"    on seven-fifty a week. When the boys get back and see how I’m doin’ they’ll be sorry they laughed;          ’Cause one can’t keep on wooing      and still be gone with the draft. Instrumental : one verse one bridge and one berse When Franklynu> did sign the draft the cats all had a chill; The boys turned pale and ceased to laugh ’cause this is a serious bill. They now realize that skinny me was the luckiest one of all Who can stay at home with Minnie    while they face the canon balls. Bridge two: So boys take it on the chin    and always wear a smile; You’ll find it hard to win carryin’     fifty pounds for miles. When your year of drill is up     you get your calves discharged You can come back home and freshen up and run around at large. Coda: >Em>F7 Gone gone gone gone with the   Draft draft draft draft.

La chanson évoque la réalité poignante des jeunes hommes confrontés à l'appel de la conscription. Elle raconte l'histoire d'un protagoniste qui, bien que victime de moqueries en raison de sa maigreur, se retrouve finalement dans une position privilégiée, épargné par le service militaire. Alors que ses camarades s'en vont, lui peut rester auprès de sa bien-aimée, ce qui le rend, en fin de compte, le plus chanceux. Le ton léger de la mélodie contraste avec la gravité du sujet, mettant en lumière l'absurdité de certaines situations de la vie. C'est un mélange d'ironie et de réflexion sur les aléas du destin.
