To all his near relations,
He's always done the best he could,
Despite his limitations
He never, without wife,
Went in for deep debauching,
And yet he'd lead better life,
With Aunt Samantha watching.
Aunt Samantha! Uncle Sam.

For God made man upon the plan
His better half is woman.
Old Uncle Sam has sung his song
From Eastport, Maine, to Jolo;
He sang it clear, he sang it strong,
But always a solo.

He sang his bass piano,

So would their song be blended long
Through all the world and weather

We thought the cause was carried;
We all were set to kiss the bride

But now, the Senate strips her brow,
The bridal veil denying,
And Uncle Sammy swears 81 swowr'
And Aunt Samantha's crying.
