Lyrics
"Uncle Johnny" (Vs. #1) He's got no money, And he has no car. He can't afford it, To try and reach for the stars. And he's got no baby, To hold through the night, But if you ask how he's doing, Well, he's always doing alright. --- (Ch. #1) Dear Uncle Johnny, don't know about your greed. Dear old Uncle Johnny, he don't steal from the weak. --- (Vs. #2) Oh, he has no computer, Never learned to spell his name. But it don't concern him, 'Bout how to live vain. He don't worry about style, Owns no jewelry. But when you ask how he's feeling, He answers, "Happy and Free." --- (Ch. #2) Dear Uncle Johnny, he doesn't worship his pride. Dear Uncle Johnny, will always be a hero of mine. --- (Vs. #3) Oh, he's got no money, So he can't afford. And he's got no baby, But he still loves his Lord. --- Old Uncle Johnny, Old Uncle Johnny. --- Old Uncle Johnny, Old Uncle Johnny, Dear Uncle Johnny. --- My Uncle Johnny, My Uncle Johnny, My Uncle Johnny. --- Oh, Uncle Johnny Oh, Uncle Johnny, Oh, Uncle Johnny. Love my Uncle Johnny. (2013 - Written by Christopher Bailey; Performed by S. Wells and C. Bailey - "Core")
