WHO IS HE?
Your Uncle Sam, well, who is he? Now let me tell you without going farther. He is more to you than any brother,He's more than any king could be,For he watches o'er you and me.
You are your Uncle Sam's great son,So long as you his work have done. Your Uncle Sam has said to you, "My boy, what work do you wish to do?"From start to finish, he's your friend,Helping you on every hand.
Your Uncle Sam, he says to you,I'll give you work you will like to do.I'll teach you what is wrong and right, And by the wisdom of this rule, You will be termed as no man's fool.
So let us help him all we can,And live up to his every planOf making things of wrong go rightAnd play the man,Let come what may, for he's your Uncle Sam each day.
Oh Uncle Sam, we'll be true to you,We'll fling our starry banners out that all may know The reason why we serve you all we can.It is your Uncle Sam, in truth,That makes of you a happy youth, And then a great big man.
