Текст песни My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died - Roger Miller

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Who'll bid me quarter, 30 cents for a ring of keys
365 for a dollar bill of groceries
I'll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then, I need a ride (Thanks steve)
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
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 the alligater
One more time around free on the ferris wheel ride
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Apples are for eatin' and snakes are for hissin'
I've heard about huggin' and I've heard about kissin'
I read about it free in a 50 cent illustrated guide
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to live me but she died

Well, my uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Yeah, my uncle used to love me but she died
Keep licken good and fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died
