He's your uncle not your dad, he's the best friend you ever had |
|
So come on dig, dig, dig in until it hurts |
|
Just remember Pearl Harbor |
|
|
|
(The Alamos and nothing could be worse) |
|
|
|
He's your favorite relative and he needs a lot to live |
|
So just bring, bring, bring everything until you bleed |
|
|
|
(And he'll send back what he don't need) |
|
|
|
If your not in form ten-forty's your salvation |
|
By deprivation of temptation |
|
|
|
(Dark and blondes I hear are not deductible) |
|
|
|
Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me |
|
|
|
When he calls you as he may do |
|
Don't be frightened red white and blue |
|
Just be thankful you don't live in Leningrad |
|
He's your uncle, not your dad |
|
|
|
If your honest you don't have to shake and shiver |
|
The food is lousy up the river |
|
|
|
(It's give and take and he does all the taking) |
|
|
|
Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me |
|
Life has two things you can't subtract |
|
|
|
(Death and taxes to be exact) |
|
|
|
So just pa-pa-patriotically declare |
|
He's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad |
