Uncle John

Said the cock to the hen what’s the news today
I hear Uncle John is on his on his way
The townsfolk know or lordy lord
Where in the world will this news go

From 1 – 10 round the block again
The news is out and the
Fuss is about
Whispers fill the rumored air
Lord knows that they shouldn’t care

Cuz you ain’t gonna catcha cat got outta the bag
All that you can do is watch it run
Oh, my advice to you is toe save a word or 2
Cuz you ain’t gonna catcha cat got outta the bag

Uncle John
Comin home
You’re a criminal and the townsfolk they all know
You’ll walk into a hornet’s nest that was built and made
Before you confessed, you’re guilty until you’ve done wrong

Cuz you ain’t gonna catcha cat got outta the bag
All that you can do is watch it run
Oh, my advice to you is toe save a word or 2
Cuz you ain’t gonna catcha cat got outta the bag
