Here they come again
Hop scotching up to my door
One by one again
Knockety knock knocking upon my floor
Swinging on my gate
They gain entry by the yard
Pulling at my hair they scream
Paint your thoughts upon my card
But not tonight, I’ve got studies to examine
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen’s men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time
He gives me things to do
Cause he’s a wonderful man
But I’m sailing across the sea
To see my Uncle Sam
I’m sailing across the sea
To be with my Uncle Sam
To be with my Uncle Sam
Silly little sniggers from the women liberators
But I'll stand and hold my post
Polished buttons and erect I'll raise the flag
I'll show those women who's the most
But not tonight, I've got studies to examine
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time
Gives me things to do
He's a wonderful man
But I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
Sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
But not tonight, I've got studies to examine
Tomorrow ha ha ha
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time
He gives me things to do
Cause he's a wonderful man
Sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
I go sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
I go sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
Sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I go sailing
Hop scotching up to my door
One by one again

brilliant video for this song, which was written circa 84, I beleive, and highlights the growing influence of US government (and military in particular) on the British Gov't.
No one else rates this??
Great song and video. I was familiar with Madness' big hits, One Step Beyond, Night Boat To Cairo, It Must Be Love, and Our House, but only just started looking for some of their other music yesterday. This has instantly become one of my favorites.
