Written by Denver Darling, Vaughn Horton, Harry Duncan

I'm leavin' tomorrow from old Alabam'
Don't worry 'bout me, babe, wherever I am
And if you still love me when I get to Japan
Just send me your love, babe, care of Uncle Sam
You can send me a cable, or a radiogram
Send it care of my uncle, he'll know where I am
Don't tell it to Mandy, or the King of Siam
Just tell it to me, babe, care of Uncle Sam

I'll give you my answer, you'll love it I know
When you ask me what's cookin', I'll say "Tokyo"
Keep your southern fried chicken, and your sugar cured ham
Just send me your love, babe, care of Uncle Sam

And when it's all over I'll come back to you dear
I'll bring you old Tojo, or a souvenir
Mussolini and Hitler will be meek as a lamb
Just tell me you'll wait, dear, care of Uncle Sam
