Verse 1:
E
Here they come again
    A                  E
Hop scotching up to my door
E
One by one again
               A                E
Knockety knock knocking upon my floor

Verse 2:
E
Swinging on my gate
          A                 E
They gain entry by the yard
E
Pulling at my hair they scream
           A                  E
Paint your thoughts upon my card


Pre-Chorus:
B                        E                  BE
But not tonight I've got studies to examine
B                E                        BE
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
B                   E                    B
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
B
Who now takes up all my time he gives me things to do
B
'cause he's a wonderful man


Chorus:
E
But I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To see my Uncle Sam
E
I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To be with my Uncle Sam
   A                E
To be with my Uncle Sam


Verse 4:
E
Silly little sniggers from the women liberators
         A                     E
But I'll stand and hold my post
E
Polished buttons and erect I'll raise the flag
                A                   E
I'll show those women who's the most


Pre-Chorus:
B                        E                  B
But not tonight I've got studies to examine
B                E                        B
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
B                   E                    B
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
B
Who now takes up all my time he gives me things to do
B
'cause he's a wonderful man


Chorus to fade:
        E
But I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To see my Uncle Sam
E
I'm sailing across the sea
   A                CF    CF    C
To be with my Uncle Sam
E
Sailing across the sea
   A                E
To see my Uncle Sam
E
I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To be with my Uncle Sam
E
I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To be with my Uncle Sam
E
I'm sailing across the sea
   A                E
To be with my Uncle Sam
