Uncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on ice Hes a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse Plays accordion for mr. weiss Uncle biltmore and uncle william Made a million during world war two But theyre tightwads and theyre cheapskates And theyll never give a dime to you Auntie mame has gone insane She lives in the doorway of an old hotel And the radio is playing opera All she ever says is go to hell Uncle violet flew as a pilot And there aint no pretty girls in france Now he runs a tiny little bookie joint They say he never keeps it in his pants Uncle bill will never leave a will And the tumor is as big as an egg He has a mistress, shes puerto rican And I heard she has a wooden leg Uncle phil cant live without his pills He has emphysema and hes almost blind And we must find out where the money is Get it now before he loses his mind Uncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on ice Hes a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse He plays accordion for mr. weiss Credit music - Bone Chain (also by Tom Waits)
