crazy uncle song

Singer:ben lee

my role is to stir the pot

inspire your mind

take the fall

while your parents fuss and grumble

that's my job

after all 'cause i'm. the crazy uncle

take flowering female hop plants

add water

yeast and grain

it turns into a magic brew

that can ease most human pain

unless i am mistaken

bubbling with blue-collar zest

popular even though it's gassy

it's said zen monks enjoy beer

never smug yet kind of sassy

pharaohs invented it

i hear

its beginnings were egalitarian

even though it's quite proletarian

beer's humble but has aplomb

though in the bowel sometimes a bomb

and while 'aplomb' may be bunk

i'll

have one more

then go cheer your mom

'cause i'm the crazy uncle

hope that when i'm good and sober

i don't forget and let her down

should they veto that pup

i'll come across as just a clown

and not the crazy uncle
