I love this song, genuinely funny. Know of any of the artists other works? I've searched them up couldn't find anything. Cheers, C.

Just in case anyone would like the lyrics (This is what I was able to transcribe):

The other day the postman brought a letter out to me
It said ‘Official Business’ just as plain as it could be
He had a big silly grin as he came through the gate
We like you to visit us signed Draft Board 428

Greetings! Uncle wants you!
We hope you are not making any plans!
You have been selected so you wouldn’t feel neglected
You realize that you’re a lucky man!

Well I stood in line from Six O’Clock until Twenty after Three
I stand in my Birthday Suit as mad as I could be
A little guy right next to me asked “What are you mad about?”
“I came to deliver a telegram, now they won’t let me out!”


Greetings! Uncle wants you!
We hope you are not making any plans!
You have been selected so you wouldn’t feel neglected
You realize that you’re a lucky man!

But still I wasn’t worried about them taking me
I knew that I had a secret, for I could hardly see
I told them that my eyes were bad, I couldn’t drive a car
They said we’ll put you right up front so you don’t have to look so far!


Greetings! Uncle wants you!
We hope you are not making any plans!
You have been selected so you wouldn’t feel neglected
You realize that you’re a lucky man!
