D,3 My uncle (Tune: My bonnie lies over the ocean) D G D My uncle once trusted a lion. A7 He put his head into its mouth. D G D Now most of him lies in Chicago. G A7 D His head and the lion went south. D G A7 D Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my uncle to me, to me. D G E7 A7 D Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my uncle to me. My uncle was hiding from tigers When pepper got into his nose. He knew that the tigers were hungry So he tried not to sneeze, but he snoze. My uncle made friends with hyenas. They gave him a ride on his raft. When the crocodiles reached up and grabbed him, The hyenas just sat there and laughed. My uncle once fell in a pothole In a glacier while climbing an Alp. He's still there after fifty long winters But all you can see is his scalp. When my uncle annoyed his dear parents, They threw him right off of the bus! And if we keep singing this song Why, that's what will happen to us.
