Cemetery Polka — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Uncle Vernon
Uncle Vernon
Independent as a
Hog on ice
He`s a big shot down there
At the slaughterhouse
He plays accordion
For Mr. Weiss
Uncle Bittmore and
Uncle William
Made a
Million during
World War II
But they`re tightwads
And they`re
Cheap skates

And they`ll never give a dime to you
Auntie Mame
Has gone
Insane
She lives in
The doorway of an old hotel
And the
Radio`s playing opera and
All she ever says
Is go to Hell.
Uncle Violet
Flew as pilot
He said there
Ain`t 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 tumour is as
Big as an egg
He has a mistress
She`s a Puerto Rican
And I heard she has
A wooden leg.
Uncle Phil
Can`t live without his pills
He has emphysema and
He`s almost blind
And we must find out
Where the money is
Get it now
Before he loses his mind
