Greetings (This Is Uncle Sam)

Greetings, this is Uncle Sam

I want to take you to a far off land

I need you, oh, I need you

Yes, I need you to lend a helping hand

Said goodbye to all your buddies

Say hello to your new friends

'Cause you're in the army now

And your new life has just begun

I need you

Oh, I need you

Yes, I need you

To lend a helping hand

I can just see me now, huh

With a rifle in my hand

I'm gonna have to say goodbye to my girl

And I hope she doesn't find another man

And baby, baby, while I'm away

Please, please write everyday

Oh no, no, please don't take me, Uncle Sam

(You're in the army now)

Bye-bye baby

So long friends

Goodbye, baby, I hope to see you again

I need you

Oh, I need you

(Come on, boy)

Yeah, I need you

(We're gonna make a man out of you)

To lend a helping hand (This one train you're not gonna miss)

Oh, baby

(Come on, boy)

(What ya mean you've never heard of KP?)

Baby, bye-bye

(I don't care if it's four in the morning)

I got to go, baby

(There is a right way, a wrong way)

So baby, please, don't you cry

(And there's my way, you'll do it my way)

(Come on, boy, on the double)

Bye-bye, baby

(Get in step, boy, come on now)

You know I had to leave

(March, march)

Say a prayer for me, baby

I'm beggin', please, please, please

(Your mama's a long ways off, boy)

I need you, oh

(So stop your crying, march)

Oh, I need you

(Get in step, boys, left, right, left)

Yes I need you
