Lyrics | Uncle Sammy Uncle Sammy give your boys their name a name they’ll gladly claim a name they’ll never shame it isn’t Sammy isn’t Teddy don’t call them Jack or Bill it’s a name to make the whole creation thrill it’s Buddy, Buddy an easy word to say Buddy Buddy a name that’s come to stay Germany will fear it but our boys will think it’s fine and they’ll gladly answer to it as they hike beyond the Rhine oh Buddy Buddy you’re a winner in this war see him stepping hear him hepping 1 2 3 4In England it is Tommy and it’s Poilu in Francais but it’s Buddy simply Buddy in the U.S.A. While they hike yes while they hike just hear those dough boys sing how strong their voices ring to victory they swing but they’re not Jackies they’re not Johnnies don’t call them Jim or Joe for they have a name that all the world should know |
