Hes Your Uncle Not Your Dad

[Verse 1] 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 Alamo and nothing could be worse.) [Verse 2] He’s your favourite (hum) relative. (hum) And he needs a (hum) lot to live. (hum) So just bring bring bring everything until you bleed. (And he’ll send back what he don’t need.) [Chorus 1] If you’re not in form ten-forty’s your salvation by deprivation of temptation. (Darks and blondes I hear are not deductible.) Oh say can you see?   If there’s anything left for me?     [Verse 3] When he calls you (hum) as he may do. (hum) Don’t be frightened (hum) red white and blue. (hum) Just be thankful you don’t live in Leningrad. He’s your uncle not your dad. {Instrumental} (Military march) [Chorus 2] If you’re 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 takin’.) Oh say can you see? If there’s anything left for me?     [Verse 4] Life has two things (hum) you can’t subtract. (hum) (Death and taxes (hum) to be exa-act (hum).) So just pay pay patriotically be glad.                                           He’s your uncle he’s your uncle not your da----ad.
