                                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)
