Cemetery Polka - Tom Waits

    Uncle Vernon, Uncle Vernon, independent as a hog on ice
    He's a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse
    Plays accordion for Mr. Weiss

    Uncle Biltmore and Uncle William
    Made a million during World War Two
    But they're tightwads and they're cheapskates
    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 is playing opera
    All she ever says is "Go to hell"

    Uncle Violet flew as a pilot
    And 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 tumor is as big as an egg
    He has a mistress, she's 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

    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
