Текст песни: My Mysterious Uncle + перевод

My mysterious uncle

he is so mysterious

that no one in our family knows his name,

but he remembers my birthday.

Nobody knows who he is related to,

but nevertheless there he is,

at family occasions.

Is he a ghost? Did we get him in the post?

Is he wordly wise? Is he wearing a disguise?

Are we all hallucinating? Is he a mirage?

Is he a criminal at large?

What’s in his pipe? It’s disgusting!

My mysterious uncle

did he wander in off the street

and sit down to Christmas dinner one year,

without anybody noticing?

I’m starting to wonder if that’s even a real moustache

and what’s he hiding behind his back.

Could it be sweeties?

He’s got a lovely car and it’s full of crumbs,

I’ve noticed he has massive thumbs,

he’s got a tweed jacket and tobacco in a packet,

he uses a guitar as a tennis racket.

What’s in his pockets? It’s digestives!

Inside his top hat there is cat,

inside the cat is a cricket bat,

inside the bat is a man called Matt

who is a window cleaner

My mysterious uncle

maybe he is a detective

sent to investigate our family

for a massive fraud

My mysterious uncle

he never speaks

just looks from side to side mysteriously.

Well, that’s alright by me.

I hope I never find out

what my mysterious uncle is all about.
