Uncle Elwyn Lyrics

Ed's Uncle Elwyn!

Ed's Uncle Elwyn!

My Uncle Elwyn is tall
My Elwyn is small
My Elwyn plays a mean basketball
He's about fourty-five, maybe fifty-five, sixty
I'm not sure.
Once, he mixed me a drink
I was about five years old
It was Kool-aid and pop,
I thought that was cold
Cold meaning good
Cold's supposed to be bad
But I think that I oughta would change some things,
And change their meanings
I've been here, I've been demeaning
Once, twice, maybe three times
I asked my Uncle Elwyn
He's a mime!

He said:
Ed's Uncle Elwyn (Oo)
Ed's Uncle Elwyn (Oh)

That's E-L-W-Y-N
That's Elwyn, sing it again
E-L-W-Y-N
That's Elwyn, sing it again
E-L-W-Y-N
That's Elwyn, sing it again
E-L-W-Y-N
That's Elwyn!

That's my uncle.

LOL, I love this song... it's so funny. ^_^ I didn't find it for awhile because I always assumed the CD was over after the 'last' song, and turned it off... um, right, there was absolutely no point to that last comment.

I'm not posetive, but i believe this song was made up partially on the spot. Ed Robertson is really good a freestyling and usually does at their concerts.

Oh yeah, the song is so freestyle
