Uncle Alvarez (iTunes Originals Version)

There's a portrait of Uncle Alvarez

Hangin' in the hall

Nobody wants to look at it

But Uncle Alvarez, sees us allOh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy

You might even shake the hands of presidents

Better send a postcard and keep the family quietHe's not really part Cherokee Indian

He didn't fight in the Civil War

He's just Eugene Isaac Alvarez

We feel sorry for the wallOh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy

You might even shake the hands of presidents

You're gonna make 'em sorry when you dieAnd it's a long way down

You were hoping for a heart attack

Running around, investing on this and that

And your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you

Safe in a better way, there's no dust or mildew and

It's hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancerBetter just to shake it off

As you write your resume

Don't think of Uncle Alvarez

And the price he had to payOh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy

You might even shake the hands of presidents

You're gonna make 'em sorry when you dieOh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy

You might even shake the hands of presidents

Better send some money to the Alma Mater
