Uncle Alvarez |
| There’s a portrait of Uncle Alvarez |
| Hanging in the hall |
| Nobody wants to look at it |
| But Uncle Alvarez sees us all |
| Ho, ho, ho, imaginary accomplishments |
| Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy |
| You might even shake the hands of presidents |
| Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet |
| He’s not really part Cherokee Indian |
| He didn’t fight in the Civil War |
| He’s just Eugene Isaac Alvarez |
| We feel sorry for the wall |
| Ho, ho, ho, imaginary accomplishments |
| Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy |
| You might even shake the hands of presidents |
| You’re gonna make them sorry when you die |
| And it’s a long way down |
| You’re hoping for heart attack |
| Running around |
| And messing in this and that, and |
| Your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you |
| Safe in the bedroom where there’s no dust or mildew and |
| It’s hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer… |
| Better just to shake it off |
| As you write your resumé |
| Don’t think of Uncle Alvarez |
| And the price he had to pay |
| Ho, ho, ho, imaginary accomplishments |
| Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy |
| You might even shake the hands of presidents |
| You’re gonna make them sorry when you die |
| Ho, ho, ho, imaginary accomplishments |
| Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy |
| You might even shake the hands of presidents |
| Better send some money to the Alma Matter |
