Uncle Johns Legacy Lyrics

Uncle John was a man you'd like to know

With a love for footy the Geelong Cats in tow

Every Sunday morning he'd wear their blue and white

Cheering loud in the stands like it was his birthright

Saturday nights at the speedway his heart would race

With the smell of burning rubber the thrill of the chase

He'd tinker along on engines grease on his hands

Living for the roar of the crowd in the stands

But Uncle John he was king of the kids

Laughing and playing no matter what he did

Chocolate crackles in his pocket and a smile on his face

Made every child feel like they belonged in the place

He'd show us how to catch a fish down by the creek

Telling tall tales of giants making our imaginations peak

On rainy days he'd light up the room

Jokes and stories he was banishing the gloom

Uncle John he was king of the kids

Laughing and playing no matter what he did

Chocolate crackles in his pocket and a smile on his face

Made every child feel like they belonged in the place

He'd show us how to catch a fish down by the creek

Telling tall tales of giants making our imaginations peak

On rainy days he'd light up the room

With jokes and stories he was banishing the gloom

Uncle John he was king of the kids

Laughing and playing no matter what he did

Chocolate crackles in his pocket and a smile on his face

Made every child feel like they belonged in the place

Christmas was a feast in Uncle John's hall

With laughter and love he welcomed us all

His heart was as boundless as the open sea

Teaching us all what family should truly be

Uncle John he was king of the kids

Laughing and playing no matter what he did

Chocolate crackles in his pocket and a smile on his face

Made every child feel like they belonged in the place

His body may be gone but his spirit will always live on

In the children that he raised to stand tall and be strong

Though he had none of his own no child was ever left alone

Because Uncle John he was king of the kids

Laughing and playing no matter what he did

Chocolate crackles in his pocket and a smile on his face

Made every child feel like they belonged in the place
