Cemetery Polka Lyrics - Rain Dogs - 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
