Lyrics

Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm uncle sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change. stay 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
Shake the hand that shook the hand of p.t. barnum and charlie chan
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. can you use them ol' u.s. blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your 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 song, the united states blues
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
