He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad lyrics

Elvis Presley

He's your uncle not your dad, he's the best friend you ever hadSo come on dig, dig, dig in until it hurtsJust remember Pearl HarborThe Alamos and nothing could be worseHe's your favorite relative and he needs a lot to liveSo just bring, bring, bring everything until you bleedAnd he'll send back what he don't needIf your not in form ten-forty's your salvationBy deprivation of temptationDark and blondes I hear are not deductibleOh say can you see if there's anything left for meWhen he calls you as he may doDon't be frightened red white and blueJust be thankful you don't live in LeningradHe's your uncle, not your dadIf your honest you don't have to shake and shiverThe food is lousy up the riverIt's give and take and he does all the takingOh say can you see if there's anything left for meLife has two things you can't subtractDeath and taxes to be exactSo just pa-pa-patriotically declareHe's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad
