Uncle Remus
Frank Zappa
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Gm Dm Gm Bb2
F Bb2 C C7 Dm G7 Bb2 A7
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb
Whoa, are we movin' too slow?
Gm Dm Gm Bb2
Have you seen us, Uncle Remus?
F Bb2 C C7
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Dm G7 Bb2
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
F F7 A A7
It ain't bad in the day, if they squirt it your way
Dm G7
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
Bb2 A7 (Dm) (Dm/C)
An' it's hard if it hits on yer nose (on yer nose)
*Interlude* (intro)
Just keep yer nose to the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us, Uncle Remus?
I can't wait till my fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my doo-rag at home
I'll take a drive to Beverly Hills just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys off the rich people's lawn
Bb2 A7 Dm G7
And before they get up I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down in the dew...
Bb2 A7 Dm G7 (repeat & fade)
