My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died

My uncle used to love me but she died

A chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried

I said, keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

Who'll tip me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys

Three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries

Have me a car of my own someday

But till then I need me a ride

My uncle used to love me but she died

A chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried

I said, 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 an alligator

One more time free around the ferris wheel ride

Apples are for eatin' and the snakes are for hissin'

I heard about a huggin' and I heard about a kissin'

I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide

My uncle used to love me but she died

A chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried

I said, keep on the sunny side

My uncle used to love me but she died

But she died, but she died, but she died ...

But she died, but she died, but she died

But she died, but she died, but she died ...
