Uncle Elwyn

Barenaked Ladies · Rock Spectacle (Live) [1996]

{OK, if you guys don't have the 'Barenaked Ladies: Rock Spectacle'

album, you won't know it. It's about a minute after the last song

(which is If I had $1,000,000 by the way) and it is an improv. by them.

It's hilarious, so here are the lyrics}



It's Uncle Elwyn,

It's Uncle Elwyn.



My Uncle Elwyn is tall,

My Elwyn is small,

My Elwyn plays a mean

Basketball



He's about 45,

maybe 55, 60.

I'm not sure,

Once he mixed me



A drink, I was 'bout

5 years old

It was Kool-Aid, and bought,

I thought that was cold.



Cold meaning good

Cold's s'posed to be bad

I think that I

ought'a would



Change some things,

Change their meanings.

I've been here,

Iv'e been demeaning.



Once, twice,

Maybe three times

I asked my Uncle Elwyn,

He's a mime,

He said



It's Uncle Elwyn,

It's Uncle Elwyn,



That's E-L-W-Y-N

That's Elwyn, say it again.



E-L-W-Y-N

That's Elwyn, say it again.



E-L-W-Y-N

That's Elwyn, say it again.



E-L-W-Y-N

That's Elwyn



That's my uncle.
