HE'S MY UNCLE
Lyrics: Charles Newman - Music: Lew Pollack

Dick Powell; Rose Blane and the Abe Lyman Orchestra


(Verse)
Who's that passing by 
With that hat so high?
Folks all greet him, run to meet him;
Do you wonder why?

(Chorus)
He's my uncle, I'm his nephew (niece),
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.

Like my uncle, I am loyal
To our flag, red, white and blue;
And my sisters and my brothers
And my cousins by the dozens -
They are loyal, too.

Each girl and boy in this land enjoys
Our home, our church, our school;
'Neath liberty - we'll grow up to be
People who honor the Golden Rule!

He's my uncle, I'm his nephew (niece)
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!
