Elvis Presley He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad

Elvis Presley Hes Your Uncle, Not Your Dad
Written by by Sid Wayne and Ben Weisman. Elvis recorded it in June 1967 at MGMs Culver City studios. One line of The Star Spangled Banner is in the song. The song is featured in his 1968 film Speedway. It is available on the Speedway soundtrack.

He's your uncle not your dad,
he's the best friend you ever had
So come on dig, dig, dig in until it hurts
Just remember Pearl Harbor

(The Alamo and nothing could be worse)

He's your favorite relative
and he needs a lot to live
So just bring, bring,
bring everything until you bleed

(And he'll send back what he don't need)

If your naughty form ten-forty's your salvation
By deprivation of temptation

(Darks and blondes I hear are not deductible)

Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me

When he calls you as he may do
Don't be frightened red white and blue ooo
Just be thankful you don't live in Leningrad
He's your uncle, not your dad

If your honest you don't have to shake and shiver
The food is lousy up the river

(It's give and take and he does all the taking)

Oh say can you see if there's anything left for me
Life has two things you can't subtract

(Death and taxes to be exact)

So just pay-pay-patriotically declare
He's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad

This song is so very hilarious while watching the Elvis' movie "Speedway". Also, I'm so very ecstatic that Elvis got to star in a movie with the legendary Nancy Sinatra. They worked extremely well together on screen. "Speedway" is such a very fabulous Elvis movie. There'll never be another Elvis. This video was absolutely perfect in every way, 10 Stars as always Jackie.

Actually,this is good scene in the movie...Bill Bixby is great in it too !!! I love the the bit just after this scene in the tax amns office..Where Elvis says to Bixby "I ought to break you in half" Bixby replies "If you do you'll have two very short friends"....well you had to be there !! LOL.

Im sorry Jackie... a minor mistake in the lyrics. The last next to last line is actually "So just pay pay patriotically be glad"... not patriotically declare. Love all of the videos you have posted.

Elvis is a god!!!

If i was to come back as someone elvis would be my first choice lol i know woman that still get all wet watching his films lol now that is what i am talking about:))

[Richardknas]

I have an idea, why not use this song 4 the people of USA so you join the army,that way more people can be sent abroad to do as elvis did. service for the country.perhaps that way americans can enjoy the sunny days of afganistan and Iraq

Outstanding political commentary that hasn't lost one bit of impact since it was first released. Talk about being ahead of its time....

[IDLERACER]

I'd just like to point out that that very same line of "The Star Spangled Banner" is also featured in the Cowsills' 1969 hit, "Hair."
