lyrics

Uncle Jim

Verse 1
Dreams of immortal
And staying young
In the not ever
Where life is called fun

Verse 2
Scarred by the memory
Of big brother Dave
Tried to get his mother
Out of the cave

Verse 3
He loved little Michael
And made him his son
Then he fashioned his Peter
Who made him a ton

Chorus
Pirates, big dogs and children who could fly
Helped him escape the pain
Mary made house while Barry played Uncle Jim
Consummate writer, vows out on a limb

Verse 4
There wasn’t no one
That he never knew
The list of his friends read
Like who’s who
But was he happy
No one can know
Maybe with pen in hand
Controlling the show

Chorus
Verse 1 x2
