Well, since you asked--

If you don't like your Uncle Sammy
Then go back to your home o'er the sea
Go back to where you came
Whatever be you name
But don't be unfaithful to me!
If you don't like the stars in Old Glory,
If you don't like the Red, White & Blue,
Then don't be like the cur in the story
Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!

Heard Tiny Tim sing it on the TV some years back (in his natural baritone.) My father used to sing it; he thought it was pretty funny. I always supposed it dated from WW1, but I don't know why.
