| And the whole world is at war | B |
| And half the land the sun shines on | C |
| Is drenched in human gore | B |
| When every Nation counts the men | D |
| It knows are tried and true | E |
| We send this message to you Sam | F |
| Alaska stands with you | E |
| You never treated us quite right | G |
| You grabbed away our coal | H |
| You reserved all our fire wood | I |
| And what we've used we've stole | H |
| You soaked us on our cable tolls | J |
| But we don't give a damn | F |
| Even at twenty eight cents per word | K |
| WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAM | F |
| - | |
| You've squandered untold millions | L |
| On the filthy Philippines | M |
| But you always made Alaskans | L |
| Go and rustle for their beans | M |
| And your black and tan possessions | L |
| Tho they've cost you quite a few | E |
| Can never be depended on | C |
| While we'd go thru Hell for you | E |
| We're quite unused to luxuries | N |
| And we've always played alone | O |
| When we asked for help to build our trails | P |
| You handed us a stone | O |
| You've four flushed on the railroads | Q |
| But we don't care a damn | F |
| If they monkey with the Eagle | R |
| WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAM | F |
| - | |
| You gave us lief to make some laws | S |
| Then tied our hands behind | T |
| That gift to us was just the same | U |
| As pictures to the blind | T |
| Your laws all have a joker | V |
| Made to catch some Sourdough | T |
| And it's hard to beat the game Sam | F |
| The way it's framed up down below | W |
| We've always been the dumping ground | T |
| For your political misfits | X |
| But Sam if you're in trouble | R |
| We're willing to call it quits | X |
| We've never had an even break | Y |
| But we don't care a damn | F |
| If the Lion growls remember this | Z |
| WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAM | F |
| - | |
| We're used to meeting troubles | A |
| And if you put us to the test | T |
| You'll find Alaska loves you Sam | F |
| Far better than the rest | T |
| But Sam when this is over | V |
| As morning follows night | T |
| Pray give us your attention | A2 |
| And set some matters right | T |
| We need some decent cable rates | B2 |
| We need some decent mails | P |
| We need some decent coast lights | C2 |
| And we need some decent trails | P |
| You've given these to all the rest | T |
| But we don't care a damn | F |
| If it's full grown men you're needing | D2 |
| WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAM | F |
