"We're Gonna Have To Slap The Dirty Little Jap (and Uncle Sam's The Guy Who Can Do It)"

I have found the lyrics for the song in various places but none of them actually match the song as it is sung in the recording. I'll transcribe the song from where it really begins to differ from published lyrics which is about half-way through.

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 this sneaky little fellow
And he'll think a cyclone hit him when we're thru it
We'll take the double crosser to the old woodshed
We'll start 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 given a helping hand
to many a foreign land don't forget it
But when somebody goes to stomping on his toes
they better guard their nose or they're 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 thru 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 you 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 that dirty little jap
Uncle Sam is mild and peaceful as a child
but never get him riled or you will rue it
so now they want to fight well they bit off quite a bite
and Uncle Sam is going to 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-cross he can kick like a mule
we're warning Hitler too the man's a fight fool
we gotta slap the dirty little Jap
