I came in for a 'High old time' when Uncle Brown, he died And when I heard he'd left me oof with joy, no grief, I cried And now I'm going to make things hum, they'll know that I'm alive So 'hang the expense' I'm in for a lark, to enjoy myself I'll strive. Chorus: Good old Uncle, Jolly old Uncle He's left me his cash, to cut a dash And I mean to raise the Town Plenty of money, a jolly good spree Rollicking Boys and Girls for me A 'life of pleasure' I mean to see Good old Uncle Brown. I was in 'queer street' no mistake, I hadn't got a 'rap' Everything went to 'Uncles', then I had to live on 'strap' But when the lawyers wrote to me the letter made me stare I rubbed my eyes, I looked and read, then my hat threw in the air. Chorus: I mean to go the pace you bet, my money I will spend I've enough to satisfy myself and a 'quid' or two to lend So don't be frightened dear old pals, who happen to be 'down' Say what you want, you'll get it from the heir of Uncle Brown. Chorus: And now 'I am fixed' I'll say goodbye to sorrow care and strife And all I want to complete my bliss is a loving little wife So ladies is there one among you care to share my lot You'll have the best of everything now I've the 'rhino' got. Chorus: I had the cheer to fall in love, some even called me rash With a banker's only daughter and of course she'd have some cash Her Father, when he found us out, in rage exclaimed to me 'How dare you, Sir, my daughter weds not love but L.S.D.
