UNCLE JOE

Verse:    Disappointed?
          Malcontented? 
          Disaffected?
          Not nice scented?
          Relocated?
          So frustrated?
          Isolated
          In the snow?

          Be resourceful
          Not remorseful        
          Work the Salt Mines
          To atone the crimes
          Cease invective
          Think: Collective!
          Work hard, for-your 
          Uncle Joe

Chorus:   Workers are not shirkers for 
          ManifestSovietDestiny
          ReEducation? Need Vacation?
          Talk to your Uncle Joe!
          Not Befriended? Not Protected?
          Talk to your Uncle Joe!                 
          People's friend, not pretend! 
          He is your Uncle Joe

Verse:    Feeling seedy
          Feeling needy
          Is your boss man
          Far too greedy?
          A bit downsized?
          Disenfranchised?
          Nothing here Rhymes!
          We don't care.

          You need Holiday 
          in Siberia 
          Nice Vacation, 
          to Interior
          Get a suntan,
          On your five year plan
          Drive your tractor
          All the way!

Chorus:   Workers are not shirkers for 
          ManifestSovietDestiny
          ReEducation? Need Vacation?
          Talk to your Uncle Joe!
          Not Befriended? Not Protected?
          Talk to your Uncle Joe!                 
          People's friend, not pretend! 
          He is your Uncle Joe
  
          Yah, da, yah da da!
          Yah da da, Uncle Joe!
          Yah, da, yah da da!
          Yah da da, Uncle Joe!
          Yah, da, yah da da!
          Yah da da, Uncle Joe!
          Yah, da, yah da da!
          Yah da da, Uncle Joe!

Lynski:   Congratulations, you have won all expenses paid recreational
          visit to Siberia... Many iteresting subterrean activities, 
          forced marches in the snow, bayonetting before breakfast.
