My daddy’s all dressed up today, He never looked so fine, I thought, when I first looked at him, My daddy wasn’t mine. He’s got a dandy, fine new suit, The old one was so old, It’s brown, he wears an eagle, too, I guess it must be gold.
CHORUS But my daddy just belongs to my dear mother, So my daddy just belongs to my dear mother, And I guess the folks are blind who cannot see That his buttons are marked “U.S.”, And that spells “us,” I guess, So he just belongs to mother dear and me.
My daddy’s sort o’ glad and sort O’ sad I wonder why? And ev’ry time she looks at him, It makes my mother cry. Who’s Uncle Sam? My daddy says that he belongs to him, But daddy’s joking, ‘cause I know My uncle’s name is Jim
