We're gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam's the guy who can do it
We'll skin that streak of yellow from the sneaky little fellow
And he'll think a cyclone struck him when we're through it
We'll take that double-crosser to the old wood shed
We'll start right on his bottom and we'll go to his head
When we get done with him, he'll wish that he was dead
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
Uncle Sam's the man, who's givin' a helping hand
To many a foreign land, don't forget it
But when somebody goes, a-stompin' on his toes
They better guard their nose or they'll regret it!
We're gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam's the guy who can do it
The Japs and all their hooey will be changed into chop suey
And the Rising Sun will set when we get through it
Their alibi for fighting is to save their face, for ancestors waiting in celestial space
We'll kick their precious face, down to the other place
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
We're gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam's the guy who can do it
I wouldn't fool ya mister, he can raise an awful blister, and somebody's pants will burn before we're through it
We'll reach across the ocean, and grab that yellow Jap
And turn him upside down right on
Democracy's lap
We'll blister his Axis and do it with a snap
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap
Uncle Sam is mild, as peaceful as a child
But never get him riled or you will rue it
So now they wanna fight; well, they bit off quite a bite,
And Uncle Sam is gonna make them chew it!
We're gonna have to slap the dirty little Jap
And Uncle Sam's the guy who can do it
'Cause it really is a feature when he starts to be a teacher
We can show you several pupils who've been through it
Uncle Sam believes in the golden rule
But when he's double-crossed he's gotta kick like a mule
We're warning Hitler too, that Sam's a fightin' fool
We gotta slap the dirty little Jap!
