My uncle used to love but she died A chicken ain’t chicken till it’s licking good and fried Keep on the sunny side My uncle used to love me but she died Who’ll bid me quarter thirty cents for a ring of keys Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries I’ll have me a car of my own someday but till then I need a ride My uncle used to love me but she died My uncle used to love but she died A chicken ain’t chicken till it’s licking good and fried Keep on the sunny side My uncle used to love me but she died Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligator One more time around free on the Ferris wheel ride My uncle used to love me but she died Who’ll bid me quarter thirty cents for a ring of keys Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries I’ll have me a car of my own someday but till then I need a ride My uncle used to love me but she died Apples are for eating and snakes are for hissing I’ve heard about a’hugging and I’ve heard about kissing I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide My uncle used to love me but she died Who’ll bid me quarter thirty cents for a ring of keys Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries I’ll have me a car of my own someday but till then I need a ride My uncle used to love me but she died Who’ll bid me quarter thirty cents for a ring of keys Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries I’ll have me a car of my own someday but till then I need a ride My uncle used to love me but she died

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une nostalgie teintée d'humour, où le narrateur se remémore un oncle qui l'aimait, mais qui est malheureusement décédé. Il utilise cette perte pour illustrer des moments de vie simples et des petits désirs, comme avoir sa propre voiture ou faire un tour sur la grande roue. Les références au quotidien, comme le poulet frit et les courses, ajoutent une touche de réalisme et d'ironie à son propos. Le contexte semble être celui d'une vie modeste, remplie de petits plaisirs et de désirs simples, tout en naviguant à travers la mélancolie de la perte. Dans l'ensemble, la chanson mélange émotions et légèreté, ce qui en fait une ode à la vie, malgré les défis.
