"I Don't Wanna Get Drafted" is a 1980 single by American musician Frank Zappa. The song peaked at #103 US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and #68 on the Cash Box charts, but more successfully reached #3 in Sweden. The original single version has never been reissued on LP or CD.
A slightly different version of the single recording was later included in the 1996 posthumous Zappa album The Lost Episodes.
The song was later completely rerecorded at a faster tempo for the 1981 album You Are What You Is and released under the title "Drafted Again".
The B-side of the single "Ancient Armaments" is an edited live instrumental from the New York City Palladium on October 31, 1978. A more complete recording of this track was included in a different mix on the 2003 album Halloween.
