Uncle Sam is gonna give me a Thunderbolt
, he want me to fly away up above the clouds
Uncle Sam is gonna give me a Thunderbolt, he want me to fly away up above the clouds
He wants to drop the bombs on the Japanese, I really got to make my baby proud
I wants a machine gun, and I wants to be hid out in the wood
I wants a machine gun, and I wants to be hid out in the wood
I wants to show old man Hitler, that Sonny Boy don't mean him no good
I wants to drop a bomb and set the Japanese city on fire
I wants to drop a bomb and set the Japanese city on fire
Now because they are so rotten, I just love to see them die
I've got the victory blues, because I know I've got to go
I've got the victory blues, because I know I have got to go
Now to keep the dirty Japanese from slippin' into my baby's back door
