Uncle Bill

Uncle Bill was here again today
He came from very far away
He came to share my room
Uncle Bill says we are best friends

We stick together thick and thin
I'll be a big boy soon
Uncle Bill crawled into bed with me
Said he had something there for me

It was the same thing that he’d always had before
He said "Hello, my little man
Don't you cry that's just my hand
Just my hand and maybe something more"

Oh Uncle Bill, I don’t want my mother to go blind
I don't want my house to burn
That happens all thе time
And Bill says that will happen if I tell
And thеre's a world of trouble waiting if I tell
So I won't tell...

Bill is mother's brother and he lives three states away
She says he's lonely 'cause he never had a wife

Oh oh Uncle Bill
I don't want my mother to go blind
I don’t want my house to burn
That happens all the time
But Bill says that will happen if I tell
There’s a world of trouble waiting there
If I tell

Only a very bad boy would ever tell
So I won't tell
I won’t tell
I won't tell
I won't tell...

Oh Uncle Bill
I don't want my dad to lose his job
I don’t want to meet the wolf
I don't want to see the blob

But Bill says that will happen if I tell
A bad thing's going to happen if I tell
He says only a very bad boy would ever tell
Yeah only a very bad boy would ever tell

I will ride my bike down to the mill
The one that has the covered bridge
And throw myself into the stream
I will hold my breath until I turn blue
And longer till my heart is through
And maybe I won't have to dream
Uncle Bill...
