Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claims he's got the miseries but
He's havin' a lotta fun
Oh baby yes baby whoo-oo-oo-oo baby
Havin' me some fun tonight yeah well!
Well long tall Sally she's built sweet
She's got everything that Uncle John needs


Oh baby yes baby whoo-oo-oo-oo baby
Having me some fun tonight
Well I saw Uncle John
With blonde haired Sally (I'm sure he says bald headed!!!!!!)
He saw Aunt Mary comin'
And he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby yes baby whoo-oo-oo-oo baby
Having me some fun tonight
