Lyrics

1. We’re a happy family
I’d like you all to know
We live with Uncle Joe
In a little bungalow
It has got a garden
And it keeps him on the go
If a friend says, “Where’s your uncle?”
We just answer, “Oh, he’s

Chorus
Mucking about the garden, always on the go
Seeds begin to show, weeds begin to grow
Mucking about the garden, dear old Uncle Joe
Works for hours among the flowers
And then begins to crow
Everything is loverly-overly
Everywhere, everywhere
Morning noon and night he’s on the go, Oh!
Mucking about the garden, dear old Uncle Joe
Sings, “Ripe tomatoes, apples and plums”
Watching his onions grow

2. Uncle said he thought that
It was time to settle down
He wed a girl in town
By the name of Mary Brown
Yesterday I met his wife
And she began to swoon
She said, “Where do you think I’ve had
To spend my honeymoon?
