Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey is a track from the Paul and Linda McCartney album Ram. It was a number 1 single in the USA. The song is in two parts: Uncle Albert is a slow, bluesy song in which the protagonist (and his entourage — the word "we" is used several times) is apologising to the title character for various minor wrongs; Admiral Halsey is a fast and upbeat song interleaving its "Hands across the water/Heads across the sky" refrain with lyrics about the Admiral.
