Uncle Sam hear by desperate plead!
I beg of you not to take him; leave him here with me!
I know you need someone like him
Willing to die for you
Willing to kill for you
Willing to stand with you
To protect our people of Stars and Stripes
But please not this man, this lovely man
I cannot let him go; this selfish girl clings tight to his hands
But if you need a person who is
Willing to die for him
Willing to kill for him
Willing to stand in his place
Let it be me
I shall go and suffer
For however long you may need
Oh Uncle Sam, hear my desperate plead!
