Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka |
Tom Waits Uncle Vernon, Uncle Vernon, independent as a hog on ice Plays accordion for Mr. Weiss He's a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse Uncle Biltmore and Uncle William Made a million during World War Two But they're tightwads and they're cheapskates And they'll never give a dime to you Auntie Mame has gone insane She lives in the doorway of an old hotel All she ever says is "Go to hell" And the radio is playing opera And there ain't no pretty girls in France Uncle Violet flew as a pilot They say he never keeps it in his pants Now he runs a tiny little bookie joint And the tumor is as big as an egg Uncle Bill will never leave a will He has a mistress, she's Puerto Rican And I heard she has a wooden leg He has emphysema and he's almost blind Uncle Phil can't live without his pills Get it now before he loses his mind And we must find out where the money is He plays accordion for Mr. Weiss Uncle Vernon, Uncle Vernon, independent as a hog on ice He's a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse |
