Verse 1
Uncle (G major) Cyril (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Well everybody's got an Uncle Cyril
That one who's always
different from (D major) the rest
There's loads of Uncle Fred
and Aunty Dowger
But it's Uncle Cyril's you remember (G major) best
I only met him once, my Uncle Cyril
Whose name was really Frank,
And (C major) he looked just like me,
Granny, only (G major) evil
And I still (D major) re member what he said to me
(G major) If you can't get the man, get the boy
If you can't get the man, get the boy. (D major)
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
So if you can't get the man,
get (G major) the boy. (C major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
My Uncle Cyril, he was not a gentleman
Trust him as far as you
could throw Big (D major) Ben
He'd do them wrong from
Dagenham to Cheltenham
Then he'd have a fag and
do them wrong (G major) again
We still stood for the Queen
and said our prayers
But the Americans was at
the gates of (C major) Rome
And we played the rules
in Kenya and Malaya (G major)
My (D major) Uncle Cyril done the same at (G major) home
If you can't get the man, get the ball
If you can't get the man, get (D major) the ball
You can (G major) play (D major) fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere
So if you can't get the man,
get (G major) the ball (C major) (G major) (E major) (G major)
(C major) (G major)
He ended up in Papua New Guinea
With Margot who was six foot seven too (D major)
And he was all a five foot half
point nothing
Doing nothing much while
Margo dived (G major) for pearls
They'd come back once
for Margo's operation
Left the curtains just that little bit (C major) apart
Of more than just that tin bob at (G major) the station
He left a little (D major) touch of mayhem in my (G major) heart
If you can't get the man, get the ball
If you can't get the man, get the ball (D major)
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
So if you can't get the man, get the (G major) ball.
If you can't get the man, get the ball.
If you can't get the man, get the ball. (D major)
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
So if you can't get the man, (G major) get the ball.
If (D major) you can't get the man, get the ball. (G major)
If you (D major) come, get the land,
(G major) the gold (C major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major) (G major) Referee!
