Greetings (This Is Uncle Sam) - The Monitors

Greetings

This is Uncle Sam

I want to take you

To a far off land

I need you

Oh, I need you

Yes, I need you

To lend a helping hand

Said goodbye

To all my buddies

Say hello

To your new friends

'Cause you’re in the army now

And your new life has just begun

I need you

Oh, I need you

Yes, I need you

To lend a helping hand

I can just see me now

With a rifle in my hand

I’m gonna have to say

Goodbye to my girl

And I hope she doesn’t

Find another man

And baby, baby

While I’m away

Please, please write everyday

Oh no, no

Please don’t take me, Uncle Sam

You’re in the army now

Goodbye, baby

So long, friends

Goodbye, baby

I hope to see you again

I need you

(Come on, boy)

Oh, I need you

(We're gonna make a man out of you)

Yes, I need you

To lend a helping hand

(This one training

You’re not gonna miss)

Come on, boy

Whatta mean you’ve never heard of KP

I don’t care if it’s 4 in the morning

There is a right way

A wrong way

And there’s my way

You’ll do it my way

Come on, boy

On the double

Get in step, boy

Come on, now

March, march

Your mama’s a long ways off, boy

So stop your crying

March

Get in step, boy

Left, right

Left, right

I said get in step, boy

Left
