Elvis Presley - He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad lyrics

rate me

He's your uncle not your dad, he's the best friend you ever had So come on dig, dig, dig in until it hurts Just remember Pearl Harbor The Alamos and nothing could be worse He's your favorite relative and he needs a lot to live So just bring, bring, bring everything until you bleed And he'll send back what he don't need If your not in form ten-forty's your salvation By deprivation of temptation Dark and blondes I hear are not deductible Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me When he calls you as he may do Don't be frightened red white and blue Just be thankful you don't live in Leningrad He's your uncle, not your dad If your honest you don't have to shake and shiver The food is lousy up the river It's give and take and he does all the taking Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me Life has two things you can't subtract Death and taxes to be exact So just pa-pa-patriotically declare He's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad
