UNCLE SVEN IS COMING TO TOWN As sung by Stan Boreson Tune: SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
1. You better watch out; have yourself a good cry. You better watch out; I'm telling you why: Uncle Sven is coming to town. He's making a list and checking it once. That is because he is such a dunce. Uncle Sven is coming to town. You can't tell if he's sleeping, or if he is awake. He don't know if you're bad or good, so be bad for goodness' sake.
SPOKEN: Oh, Jiminy Christmas! That uncle Sven! He's the way oddest fellow since I can't remember when. Every Christmas he visits us here, And then he stays over till happy New Year. He knock on the door and says, "Here I are," And brings his own pickled herring in a great big fruit jar. When he comes in, he says, "I won't be no trouble to you," But troubles we got, and there's quite a few. Sven walks in and says, "Merry Christmas to all!" And my wife and me, we got to sleep out in the hall. He stays in the bathroom for two or three hours, Shaving and things and taking those showers. He drink up all the booze he can find, And he says. "It's good for me; it help me unwind." He takes a drink in the morning his nerves to improve, And by noon he's so steady he can't even move. (Stoned, huh?) He eats everything that we have in the house, And he doesn't even leave nothing for our pet Christmas mouse. Then after New Years we say, "Goodbye, Uncle Sven," But we know that next year it will happen again.
2. Oh, you better watch out; have yourself a good cry You better watch out; I'm telling you why: Uncle Sven is coming to town. He drive us crazy. Uncle Sven is coming to town, But we still love him. Uncle Sven is coming to town.
