—By Sergeant O’Malley.
When you’re confined to quarters, and
you’re laying in your tent.
And you’re got a canteen headache,
and your last two hits is spent.
And you’re homesick for your mother,
and nobody gives a damn—
Then you’re working for your uncle
—Uncle who?—Why, Uncle Sam.
When you wake up in the mornings,
and the flies buzz In your tent.
And you sort o’ start to wonder how
your wife will pay the rent.
And the doctor has your number, so
you can’t pull any sham
Then you’re working for your uncle
Uncle who—^Why, Uncle Sam.
When they slam you in the ^^yd-
house, ’cause you wouldnt shoVjel
And your heart is fairly aching, and
your feet are tired and hurt.
And you’re waiting for court-martial,
feelln’ glum as any clam—
Then you’re working tor your uncle,
Uncle who?-Why, Uncle Sam.
