He's My Uncle

Performed by Dick Powell
Recorded October 9, 1940
Written by Lew Pollack & Charles Newman

Who's that grand old guy
With that hat so high?
You all know him,
So, 'hello' him
When you catch his eye

He's my uncle, I'm his nephew
I'm as proud as I can be
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens
Share that pride with me
My uncle envies no one
And there's no one he provokes
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens
We're his kind of folks

That spry old chap never picks a scrap
But he's won all he's had
And further more I feel sorry for
Any big bully that gets him mad
He's my uncle, I'm his nephew
And it's mighty proud I am
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens
We're proud of Uncle Sam

He's my uncle, I'm his nephew
We're as close as A-B-C
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens,
My whole family
For my uncle lies to no one
Cries for no one's sympathy
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens
Ape him to a T

He never tries scaring little guys
Nor brags of who he'll trem
He's peaceful, yet, people can't forget
No one was ever too tough for him
He's my uncle, I'm his nephew
And it's mighty proud I am
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens
We're proud of Uncle Sam
