Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka Lyrics
Uncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on iceHes a big shot down there at the slaughterhousePlays accordion for mr. weissUncle biltmore and uncle williamMade a million during world war twoBut theyre tightwads and theyre cheapskatesAnd theyll never give a dime to youAuntie mame has gone insaneShe lives in the doorway of an old hotelAnd the radio is playing operaAll she ever says is go to hellUncle violet flew as a pilotAnd there aint no pretty girls in franceNow he runs a tiny little bookie jointThey say he never keeps it in his pantsUncle bill will never leave a willAnd the tumor is as big as an eggHe has a mistress, shes puerto ricanAnd I heard she has a wooden legUncle phil cant live without his pillsHe has emphysema and hes almost blindAnd we must find out where the money isGet it now before he loses his mindUncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on iceHes a big shot down there at the slaughterhouseHe plays accordion for mr. weiss
