Ben Folds "Uncle Walter" |
Come on Your uncle Walter's goin' on and on 'Bout everything he's seen and done The voice of fifty years experience He's drunk watchin' the television You know he's been around the world, last night He flew to Baghdad in his magical armchair With cigarettes and a six pack, yeah, he just got back The spits flyin' everywhere, hey, hey, hey, hey Your uncle Walter's goin' on and on (Oh, you're back so late) Where did you go that you were gone so long? So, how could you leave me here so long with uncle Walter? Your uncle Walter saw who fired the shots He drove his chair in the cavalcade He's flown from South Africa to countries where They beat themselves on the backs with chains There was a fleet of battleships and one reclinin' chair Headed north on the Arabian sea, now he's back To tell us what he and his oldest boy Blair They're gettin' rich with a mail order scheme, oh, oh Your uncle Walter saw who fired the shots (We're so glad you're home) Where did you go that you were gone so long? How could you leave me here so long with uncle Walter? Your uncle Walter told me Everythin' he'd do if he was president Now, what a perfect world this world would be If he was president now but he's not And he sees the children smokin' pot He knows that in a moment they'll be Shootin' up heroin, teardrops in his armchair A fifty minute lecture, tobacco juice rollin' down his chin Your uncle Walter's goin' on and on (Oh, you're back so late) Where did you go that you were gone so long? So how could you leave me here so long with uncle Walter? Come on Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
