Rheostatics — Cephallus Worm / Uncle Henry lyrics

Lyrics

Artenings made of gold. Artenings made of gold
Davey is one. Timmy is two
Davey is made of gold
(Cephallus Worm) by Martin Tielli
What beads in sand and blows out water?
Gungt snip… gungt snip…
What weaves holes all inside and out?
Rekunininin snakes… Rekunininin snakes…
What leaves tracks that I inverted?
Rekarsin snakes?
Who put the holes in Pinocchio’s nose?
What did Martin pull out of a cat’s ass in Italy?
A cephallus worm?
A cephallus worm!
(Uncle Henry) by Dave Bidini
Uncle Henry, have you heard?
MacKenzie King has cited you
He will come to Hammond River
And present you with a badge
Though your vision’s nearly gone
And your cattle are diseased
You’ve been chosen as our hero
You will hold our banner high!
High!
Uncle Henry, be polite
And do not question when he asks
If you think that his conscription policy
Is proper work
Say hello to him for me
Ask him if his dog predicts
That the Maple Leafs are gonna beat Detroit
For the Stanley Cup!
Right!
Henry, can you see the forest?
See the forest through the trees?
They’re diggin' a hole up on Military Trail
They’re diggin' a hole for the military
Uncle Henry, don’t be dumb
Liquor up your youngest son!
For he represents the royal army’s
Chances in the war
Say hello to him for me
Ask him if his dog predicts
That the Maple Leafs are gonna beat Detroit
For the Stanley Cup!
