Uncle Percy

C C                                           

When Uncle Percy came to see me

F F                                 

He told me all about his show.

G7                                             C              

He told me about the day they put him on the radio,

                                                  F

He told me about his life and times and how, many years ago

      G7                                           F             C

He set his booth upon the promenade and started his first show

 

F                           C                  

Yes, he made them laugh, he made them laugh,

 

G7                                  C

he made them laugh and sing

G7 G7

Because when it comes to Punch and Judy men

F                             C

Uncle Percy was king

 

He told me of bis family and how he travelled the world

From France to America, Mansion House and Madame Tussauds.

And now his sons are Punch and Judy men, he told me with pride,

He set his hat upon his head, he smiled and said "Goodbye",

It was in 1980 that old Uncle Percy died,

But Mr Punch and Judy they lived on in a million minds,

And for all I know you were one of them who once a little time ago

Sat down to enjoy one of Uncle Percy's shows.

Yes, he made them laugh, he made them laugh, he made them

laugh and sing
