Few men have ever really known,
And few would ever guess
What our country means by marking
All her chattels with U.S.
We see it on our bonds and bills,
And on our postal cars,
It decorates our Capitol
Shadowed by Stripes and Stars.
In all our barracks, posts and forts,
It plays a leading part
And the jolly sailor loves it
And enshrines it in his heart.
It may stand for United States
Or yet for Uncle Sam,
But there’s still another meaning
To this simple monogram.
Now, have you guessed the message
Which these mystic letters bear?
Or recognized the untold good
They’re spreading everywhere?
Echo the joyful tidings
And let the people know
That the U.S. of our nation means
We Use Sapolio.
