U.S. Blues

Red and white, blue suede shoes,
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive.
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck.

Check my pulse, it don't change.
Stays seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag,
Rock the boat, skin the goat.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done come and gone, my, oh, my.

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am;
Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Of P. T. Barnum and Charlie Chann.

Shine your shoes, light the fuse.
Can you use them old U.S. Blues?
I'll drink ya health, share ya wealth,
Run ya life, steal ya wife.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done come and gone, my, oh, my.

Back to back chicken shack.
Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose,
You can call this all the United States Blues.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done come and gone, my, oh, my.
Summertime done come and gone, my, oh, my.
