Red and white/blue suede shoes
 I'm Uncle Sam /how do you do?
 Gimme five/I'm still alive
 Ain't no luck/I learned to duck

Check my pulse/it don't change
 Stay seventy two/come shine or rain
 Wave the flag/pop the bag
 Rock the boat/skin the goat

Wave that flag
 Wave it wide and high
 Summertime
 Done come and gone
 My oh my

I'm Uncle Sam /that's who I am
 Been hidin' out/in a rock and roll band
 Shake the hand that shook the hand
 Of P.T. Barnum/and Charlie Chan

Shine your shoes/light your fuse
 Can you use/them ol' U.S. Blues?
 I'll drink your health/share your wealth
 Run your life/steal your wife

Wave that flag
 Wave it wide and high
 Summertime done
 Come and gone
 My oh my

Back to back/chicken shack
 Son of a gun/better change your act
 We're all confused/what's to lose?
 You can call this song/the United States Blues

Wave that flag
 Wave it wide and high
 Summertime done come and gone
 My oh My
 Summertime done come and gone
 My oh My
