Lyrics:

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's licking good fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Who'll give a quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys
Three sixty five for a dollars bill of groceries
I’ll have a car of my own someday but till then I'll need me a ride
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's licking good fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
Two times a dime to see the man kiss an alligator
One more time round free the ferris wheel ride
My uncle used to love me but she dies

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's licking good fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

Apples are for eating and snakes are for hissing
I heard about a-hugging and I heard about a-kissing
I read about it free in a fifty cent illustrated guide
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's licking good fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died

My uncle used to love me but she died
A chicken ain't chicken till it's licking good fried
Keep on the sunny side
My uncle used to love me but she died
