{t:My Uncle}
{st:Sung to the Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean}
My [C]uncle once [F]trusted a [C]lion
He [C]put his head into its [G7]mouth
Now [C]most of him [F]lies here in [C]Ottawa
His [F]head and the [G7]lion went [C]south
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me, to me
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me
{eoc}
My [C]uncle was [F]hiding from [C]tigers
When [C]pepper got into his [G7]nose
He [C]knew that the [F]tigers were [C]hungry
So he [F]tried not to [G7]sneeze, but he [C]snoze
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me, to me
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me
{eoc}
My [C]uncle made [F]friends with hy-[C]enas
They [C]gave him a ride on his [G7]raft
When the [C]crocodiles [F]reached up and [C]grabbed him
The hy-[F]enas just [G7]sat there and [C]laughed
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me, to me
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me
{eoc}
My [C]uncle once [F]fell in a [C]pothole
In a [C]glacier while climbing an [G7]Alp
He’s still [C]there after [F]fifty long [C]winters
But [F]all you can [G7]see is his [C]scalp
{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me, to me
[C]Bring back [F]bring back
Oh [G7]bring back my uncle to [C]me
{eoc}
When my [C]uncle an-[F]noyed his dear [C]parents
They [C]threw him right off of the [G7]bus!
And [C]if we keep [F]singing this [C]song
Why [F]that’s what will [G7]happen to [C]us [G7] [F]
{t:My Uncle}
