Uncle Benny had one too many, yes,
Em 
B 
Uncle Benny had one too many, yes,
Uncle Benny had one too many,
but he had himself a ball.
Oh, my father's Uncle Benny,
when he had a few too many,
one too many made him just a trifle gay.
Put his glasses in his case,
Em 
put a smile upon his face,
B 
and  he called for the fiddler to play.
Em 
Well, the fiddler took his fiddle,
B 
put the bow across the middle,
C 
B 
and the fiddle fiddled out a little too.
When the fiddler with his fiddle,
fiddled, fiddled, diddle, diddle,
C 
B 
Uncle Benny bobbled like
Em 
a toy balloon.
B 
Em 
Uncle Benny, feeling frisky,
B 
took another drop of whiskey,
C 
B 
C 
and the whiskey made
B 
him frisky to his toes.
Em 
B 
So he took my old Aunt Flora,
Em 
and they sort of danced the horror,
C 
B 
then he roared for the piper to blow.
Em 
B 
Well the piper tweedle tweeted
and the fiddle it repeated
Em 
B 
C 
B 
fiddle diddle diddle diddle diddle dee.
C 
When the piper tweedle tweeted
B 
and  the fiddle it repeated
C 
B 
Uncle Benny was beside
Em 
himself with Lee.
B 
As he filled his glass too often
Benny's eyes began to soften
and the tears began to trickle from his chin.
As his ears were
A sympathetic cousin whispered,
C 
B 
Please let the drummer begin!
Em 
The drum instead of beating
B 
Started tweedle -tweedle -tweeting
And the piper fiddled har
C 
B 
monies galore
C 
While the drum was tweedle -tweeting
B 
And the fiddle started beating
C 
Uncle Benny was compet
B 
ing with a snore
Em 
B 
Em 
B 
Uncle Benny had one too many, yes
Uncle Benny had one too many, yes
Uncle Benny had one too many,
Em 
B 
C 
but he had himself a  ball.
B 
Em 
That's the tale of Uncle Benny
B 
when he had a few too many,
and there's only one thing
C 
B 
more that must be said.
Em 
B 
When you're at  a celebration,
C 
B 
Em 
use a  little moderation,
B 
C 
B 
or you'll wake up wearing
Em 
Uncle Benny's head.
