He's Your Uncle Not Your Dad

download

(Wayne / Weisman)

Informação:
Elvis cantou He’s Your Uncle Not Your Dad no seu filme de 1968, Speedway.
A versão do filme teve vozes e instrumentos adicionais. A faixa instrumental foi gravada em Junho de 1967 nos estúdios da MGM, em Culver City. Elvis pode muito bem ter gravado a sua voz numa data posterior. Um verso da canção The Star Spangled Banner foi cantada em He’s Your Uncle Not Your Dad. Sid Wayne e Ben Weisman são os compositores.

Letra:

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 Alamos and nothing could be worse)

He's your favourite 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 not in form ten-forty's your salvation
By deprivation of temptation
(Dark 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
Just be thankful you don't live in Leningrad, he's your uncle, not your dad

If you're 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 pa-pa-patriotically declare
he's your uncle, he's your uncle, not your dad
