While all Europe is a shamblesA
And the whole world is at warB
And half the land the sun shines onC
Is drenched in human goreB
When every Nation counts the menD
It knows are tried and trueE
We send this message to you SamF
Alaska stands with youE
You never treated us quite rightG
You grabbed away our coalH
You reserved all our fire woodI
And what we've used we've stoleH
You soaked us on our cable tollsJ
But we don't give a damnF
Even at twenty eight cents per wordK
WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAMF
-
You've squandered untold millionsL
On the filthy PhilippinesM
But you always made AlaskansL
Go and rustle for their beansM
And your black and tan possessionsL
Tho they've cost you quite a fewE
Can never be depended onC
While we'd go thru Hell for youE
We're quite unused to luxuriesN
And we've always played aloneO
When we asked for help to build our trailsP
You handed us a stoneO
You've four flushed on the railroadsQ
But we don't care a damnF
If they monkey with the EagleR
WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAMF
-
You gave us lief to make some lawsS
Then tied our hands behindT
That gift to us was just the sameU
As pictures to the blindT
Your laws all have a jokerV
Made to catch some SourdoughT
And it's hard to beat the game SamF
The way it's framed up down belowW
We've always been the dumping groundT
For your political misfitsX
But Sam if you're in troubleR
We're willing to call it quitsX
We've never had an even breakY
But we don't care a damnF
If the Lion growls remember thisZ
WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAMF
-
We're used to meeting troublesA
And if you put us to the testT
You'll find Alaska loves you SamF
Far better than the restT
But Sam when this is overV
As morning follows nightT
Pray give us your attentionA2
And set some matters rightT
We need some decent cable ratesB2
We need some decent mailsP
We need some decent coast lightsC2
And we need some decent trailsP
You've given these to all the restT
But we don't care a damnF
If it's full grown men you're needingD2
WE'RE WITH YOU UNCLE SAMF
